Do I need to pay the OTT social media tax in Uganda with eSIMBuy?

Updated April 22, 2026

Good news for your budget! When you're using an eSIMBuy plan in Uganda, you do not need to worry about paying the separate OTT (Over-The-Top) social media tax. Unlike some local SIM cards that might require this additional payment for accessing platforms like WhatsApp or Facebook, our eSIM data functions without any extra steps or hidden fees. We believe in transparent pricing and hassle-free connectivity, ensuring you get straight to sharing your Ugandan adventures without unexpected costs.
