Why OneSim is different in Uganda
The price is set before you go. You see what Uganda costs up front, in your currency. Nothing is billed after you land, and there's no roaming surprise waiting at home.
The clock starts when you land. Your 30 days begin when the eSIM first connects at your destination, not at checkout. Buy a week early and lose nothing.
One eSIM, the whole trip. Continuing beyond Uganda? Our Global eSIM works in 180+ destinations, so the next border is just another stop.

Where in Uganda does OneSim work?
Cities and main routes: coverage on leading local 4G/5G networks, with speeds up to 100 Mbps where the network allows.
Rural and remote areas: coverage depends on the local networks, as with any mobile service. Download offline maps before heading off the beaten track.
Indoors and underground: signal varies by building and network, just as it would with a local SIM.
Questions? We've got you.
Install OneSim before you leave and connect when you land in Uganda. Here's what travellers ask most.
Get supportWill my eSIM work everywhere in Uganda?
It connects to leading local 4G/5G networks in Uganda, with speeds up to 100 Mbps where the network allows. As with any mobile service, coverage can be thinner in remote areas.
When does my 30-day plan start?
The clock starts when the eSIM first connects to a network at your destination, not when you buy it. You can buy and install it days or weeks before you travel.
When should I install the eSIM?
Install it at home on Wi‑Fi before you fly. When you land in Uganda, switch your mobile data to the OneSim eSIM and turn on data roaming for that line.
Which plan size should I choose for Uganda?
For a week of maps, messaging and social media, 5 GB is a comfortable pick. Light users can go with 1–3 GB, and if you stream, make video calls or share a hotspot, look at 10 GB or more.
Does it come with a phone number?
No. It's a data-only eSIM, so there's no phone number, calls or SMS. Your regular SIM can stay in your phone, and WhatsApp, FaceTime and similar apps work over data as usual.
Will it work on my phone?
You need an eSIM-compatible phone that is carrier-unlocked. Most recent iPhone, Samsung Galaxy and Google Pixel models support eSIM. See our compatible devices page for the full list.
What if I run out of data?
Top up the same eSIM with more data anytime. No new QR code and no reinstall needed.
How do I receive my eSIM?
Instantly after payment, on your order page and by email. Install it with the QR code, the one-tap install link (iOS 17.4+ and Android 10+) or by entering the details manually.
