Uganda eSIM, FAQ
Do I need an eSIM for Uganda?
If you want mobile data in Uganda without paying expensive roaming fees, a travel eSIM is the easiest option. You install it before you leave and it connects automatically when you arrive.
Will my phone work with a Uganda eSIM?
Yes, as long as your phone is eSIM-capable and carrier-unlocked. Most phones from 2018 onward qualify (iPhone XR/XS and newer, recent Samsung Galaxy and Google Pixel). Dial *#06#, if you see an EID, you're good to go.
When does my Uganda eSIM start?
Your validity period begins the first time the eSIM connects to a network in Uganda, not when you buy it. Install it before you travel and it activates on arrival.
Can I keep my phone number in Uganda?
Yes. The eSIM runs alongside your normal SIM and is data-only, so you keep your home number for calls and texts while using Makkah eSIM's eSIM for data in Uganda.
I'm only transiting Uganda on the way to Umrah — is an eSIM worth it?
For a stopover of a few hours to a couple of days, a small short-validity plan keeps you reachable for gate changes, onward bookings and messages home — usually cheaper than airport roaming and faster than terminal WiFi.
Which mobile network does the eSIM use in Uganda?
In Uganda, your Makkah eSIM eSIM connects to Airtel and MTN on 5G. Your phone automatically selects the strongest available signal, and personal hotspot / tethering is supported.
