Worked fine but took a little while to connect at first. Streaming and video calls worked without buffering.

How much does the Uganda eSIM cost?
The Uganda 10GB 30Days plan costs $50.32 for 10 GB over 30 days, paid once with no hidden fees.
How do I activate my Uganda eSIM?
Scan the QR code in your phone settings (Cellular/Mobile → Add eSIM) or tap Install in the GotoeSIM app. Install on Wi-Fi before your trip; it activates when you arrive in Uganda.
