Compare Uganda packages

Lite/1 day is the lowest-priced choice, but it is not a seven-day package. Fixed data suits lighter use between Wi-Fi connections. Essential is the balanced daily option for a week-long stay; Plus provides more high-speed data each day for heavier uploads or supported hotspot use. For a 30-day visit, compare fixed allowances up to 20GB. Match allowance, duration and total cost to your itinerary. Larger allowances do not extend safari or forest coverage.

Prices may change. Always check the product page for the latest prices before purchasing.

How daily Unlimited works

• Lite: 1GB/day high-speed, then up to 512 kbps.
• Essential: 1GB/day high-speed, then up to 1.25 Mbps.
• Plus: 2GB/day high-speed, then up to 2 Mbps.

Standard Uganda Unlimited options are Lite. Daily high-speed allowances refresh each day; reduced speeds apply for the rest of the day after that day's allowance is used. Unlimited does not mean unrestricted high-speed data. Fixed plans end when their total allowance or validity runs out, whichever comes first, without reduced-speed continuation. Actual speeds depend on connectivity.

Uganda coverage and networks

Airtel Uganda and MTN are listed up to 4G; the provider list does not specify 5G. Confirm the supported partners for your exact option if needed. Available speeds depend on your selected plan, device, supported partner and local conditions. Reception at every location is not guaranteed.

Forest visits, safari parks and Jinja trips

Save lodge directions, bookings and tour contacts offline before visiting Bwindi, Kibale, Murchison Falls or Queen Elizabeth National Park. Forests, terrain and remote routes can limit or interrupt service. Do not rely on mobile data as your only means of communication while trekking or on remote excursions. Ask your accommodation or tour operator about backup connectivity. Maritime and satellite networks are not included.

Hotspot and keeping your existing number

Hotspot depends on your selected plan, device and network; confirm exact-option terms if sharing is essential. Shared usage counts toward the same total or daily high-speed allowance and speed limits. Large uploads, backups and streaming can use data quickly.

This eSIM has no Ugandan number, ordinary calls or SMS. Internet-based messaging and calling depend on app availability and connectivity. If retaining your home SIM, check its roaming charges, turn off its data roaming and avoid automatic data switching.

Compatibility, installation and activation

1. Check that your exact device model and regional version support eSIM and that the device is carrier-unlocked.
2. Install the emailed QR code over stable Wi-Fi through your cellular or SIM settings, following your order's instructions. Keep the QR private.
3. When ready in supported Uganda coverage, enable AloOui, select it for mobile data and turn on its data roaming as instructed.

Validity starts when the eSIM connects to a supported Ugandan network, not QR delivery or installation alone. If already within supported coverage, enabling the line and connecting can start the plan. Follow your purchased option's activation deadline, expiry and top-up instructions.

APN, connection help and support through the Help Center

1. Check AloOui is enabled, selected for mobile data and has data roaming on as instructed.
2. If an APN is required, enter data.esim with username and password blank, then save/select it. Some devices configure this automatically; follow your order if its settings differ.
3. After installation finishes, toggle airplane mode briefly or restart.
4. Start with automatic network selection. If needed, choose a supported partner confirmed in your order or by support.
5. Check remaining data and validity. Keep the eSIM installed while troubleshooting.

Ask support before deleting the profile, changing devices or rescanning the QR code; do not assume transfer, reinstallation or QR reuse is supported.

AloOui provides customer support through the Help Center. Share your order number, exact device model, location and error privately.

Regional alternative for a wider trip

The separate Africa eSIM covers Egypt, Kenya, Madagascar, Mauritius, Morocco, Nigeria, Réunion, South Africa, Tanzania, Tunisia, Uganda and Zambia. Rwanda is not in that list. Confirm every stop and its own networks, allowance, validity and current price. It is a separate purchase, not additional coverage included with this Uganda plan.
