What site? If you buy it from Apple, it will be unlocked and can be used on any network. If you buy it from AT&T, it will be locked to their network, and will usually require a years worth of their service before they will unlock it.


Phones sold in the US will have no SIM card slots so you need to find out if the carrier you plan to use it with over there supports eSIM's


You will also have no warranty for it in Uganda if you buy it here, it would be best to purchase it over there if you plan to use it there.
