Do I need to pay the OTT social media tax in Uganda when using HotelESIM?

Updated April 22, 2026

No, when you're using HotelESIM for your data needs in Uganda, you will not need to worry about paying the separate OTT (Over-The-Top) social media tax. This tax is typically applicable to local SIM card users for accessing platforms like WhatsApp and Facebook. Our eSIM service is designed to provide straightforward, inclusive data access for international travelers, ensuring you can use your favorite social media and communication apps without any additional steps or unexpected charges.
