Uganda eSIM FAQs

Early installation ensures you’re ready on arrival, and it won’t drain your plan until you’re in Uganda.
If you encounter an activation message on iPhone before landing, it’s usually safe to ignore — see our eSIM Troubleshooting Guide for more info.

Easy Plan Changes: Upgrade or downgrade your data allowance on the fly - no need for a new SIM.
Full Transparency: See your data usage in - app so you won’t run out unexpectedly or incur extra charges.
No, our Uganda eSIMs only deliver mobile data. For voice or SMS, you’ll need to use an app that works over data - WhatsApp, Skype, or other similar internet calling platforms.
No, our Uganda travel eSIMs do not include any phone number - they strictly provide internet data. For calls, use data - driven apps such as WhatsApp, Signal, or Facetime.
No, your plan only starts upon landing in Uganda. Installing beforehand ensures you’re ready to go as the activation will happen automatically.
You’ll need WiFi for installation, so do it before departure and this way you will be connected as soon as you arrive.
If you run into any issues, our eSIM Troubleshooting Guide can help, or contact us directly.
