What is an Unlimited Data Plan?

An Unlimited Data Plan provides unlimited data throughout your plan validity. After reaching the daily high-speed data allowance, the connection speed will be reduced, while internet access will remain available for essential online activities.

How is the experience with speed limits on an Unlimited Plan?

After the high-speed data allowance is used, your speed is reduced to 5 Mbps. This is still fast enough for navigation, messaging, browsing, social media, and video calls, so you can stay connected throughout your trip.

Date calculation rules:

All plan time calculations follow a 24-hour cycle. The validity period begins when the plan is activated, and daily data or speed limits reset every 24 hours from the activation time.

How do installation and activation work?

Install and activate your eSIM within 30 days of receiving the QR code. Your plan starts immediately upon activation, and all validity and data cycles are calculated from that time.

Frequently Asked Questions

An eSIM is a digital SIM that lets you connect to mobile data without a physical SIM card. With iRoamly Uganda eSIM, you can enjoy fast 4G internet across Uganda instantly, without swapping SIMs.

  • iPhone: Scan the QR code sent to your email or app, then follow the on-screen instructions to add the eSIM.

  • Android: Open your phone's eSIM settings, scan the QR code, and follow the prompts.

Installation is quick and works even before your trip. Important: Do not enable roaming until you arrive in Uganda to avoid premature activation.

Most modern smartphones support iRoamly eSIMs. Check if your device is compatible using our eSIM Support List.

Yes! You can use your regular SIM for calls and iRoamly Uganda eSIM for data. Simply select the eSIM for mobile data in your phone settings to avoid roaming charges.

Some Uganda eSIM plans allow top-ups. You can:

  • Purchase an add-on plan to increase your data.
  • If your plan doesn't support top-ups, buy a new eSIM and install it easily.

Yes. Our eSIM supports hotspot sharing. On a few devices, system restrictions may limit hotspot use, but 95% of users can share data without issues.

Data needs vary by usage. Use our iRoamly Data Calculator to choose a plan that fits your browsing, streaming, or navigation needs.

An eSIM is more convenient than Pocket WiFi—you don't need to carry extra devices, charge them, or worry about losing them. Your phone is all you need.

Validity begins when you enable roaming in Uganda, not when you install it. Installing the eSIM before your trip won't activate it as long as roaming remains off.

Most eSIMs allow you to check data usage in the iRoamly app or on our website. For eSIMs that don't support this, contact support@iroamly.com for your balance.

Install your eSIM a few days before departure while connected to Wi-Fi. Avoid airport Wi-Fi networks—they can be slow or unreliable. Remember: roaming must stay off until you arrive in Uganda.

After purchase, your eSIM appears in your iRoamly account and app. You'll also receive an email with the QR code within 15 minutes. Didn't get it? Double-check your email address or contact support@iroamly.com.

iRoamly Uganda eSIM is data-only. You can use messaging and calling apps like WhatsApp, Skype, or Messenger for communication.

Refunds are available if:

  • Your device is incompatible.
  • Your trip is canceled.
