Validity does not start until your eSIM connects to a supported network at your destination. There is no deadline for first use. You can buy now and keep your plan for a future trip. Full refund on request, used or unused. We always refund the full amount you paid when you request it, whether your eSIM is unused, partly used or fully used. There is no time limit for requesting a refund.
- One-time payment
- Data-only: no phone number, voice calls or SMS. You pay once. There is no automatic renewal or extra charge when your data runs out.
- Top-up eligibility
- Top-ups are separate purchases. My eSIMs shows the options available for your eSIM. Availability can change; if no suitable top-up is offered, you may need to buy a new eSIM.
Going elsewhere too?
Add another country — each one is its own eSIM, all managed in one app.

Cameroon eSIM for Douala, Yaoundé and Kribi
Compare Cameroon eSIM plans for Douala meetings, a separate Yaoundé stay and confirmed coastal arrangements in Kribi.
A Cameroon itinerary may use Douala for business, Yaoundé for another set of appointments, or Kribi for an agreed coastal stay. Save the booked pickup and first Douala address before departure. Treat a move to Yaoundé as a new arrival with its own office entrance or accommodation pin. If Kribi is confirmed, keep the lodging name, local contact and return arrangement together instead of relying on a broad coast marker. These place distinctions help organise the trip; they do not describe mobile reception between them.

How eSIM works in Cameroon
Prepare the Cameroon eSIM on reliable Wi-Fi before leaving and store the QR code and manual details offline. Keep the line off until you reach Cameroon, then choose Horizon for mobile data and enable roaming on that line. After the eSIM first connects successfully to a supported network in Cameroon, that connection marks day one of the selected validity period. The service supplies data without a local phone number. A compatible dual-SIM device can keep the home SIM available, but its provider may charge for any use abroad.
Install your eSIM
Scan the QR or auto-install in the app — no physical SIM.
Land & connect
Data activates on first connection at your destination.
Size it to your trip
Pick the profile closest to your trip. The estimate assumes normal use — maps, messaging, photos, a short call home.
As a rule of thumb, a 3–4 day city break runs on about 1–3 GB, a one-week trip on 3–5 GB, a two-week multi-country tour on 8–12 GB, and working on the road takes about 1 GB a day, so 15 GB or more for two weeks.
Recommended size
3GB3–4 days
≈0.4 GB a day
- Maps every day
- Messaging and photos
- A short call home most days
In total, a 3 GB data allowance covers roughly 1,000 shared photos, 50 hours of social media and browsing, 8.8 hours of video calls, 38 hours of music streaming, or about 600 hours of maps and navigation. Messaging apps barely use data.

Important cities in Cameroon
Douala · City guide
Douala
Douala is one of Cameroon’s major business settings. Keep the pickup contact, building entrance and appointment address together; a city name alone is too broad for the first meeting.
Douala eSIM — set up before you flyYaoundé · City guide
Yaoundé
Yaoundé provides a separate conference and office context from Douala. Save its actual entrance and an offline copy of the next appointment, especially when the two cities appear in one work schedule.
Yaoundé eSIM — set up before you flyKribi · City guide
Kribi
Kribi is an Atlantic coastal destination distinct from the two city stays. For a confirmed visit, save the accommodation entrance, organiser or host and return details as one practical set; the coast label is not an address.
Kribi eSIM — set up before you flyWhy Horizon
Choose around the full Cameroon route
Allow for every day in Douala, Yaoundé or Kribi, then estimate routine messages and maps separately from laptop sharing or photo uploads. Check Cameroon on the exact country list before buying. Cameroon is not part of Horizon’s current Africa regional selection, so a separate Cameroon plan is available for this itinerary. Any neighbouring-country leg needs its own destination check.

Frequently asked questions
How do I compare plans for Douala?
Count the complete Douala stay and your normal messaging and map use. Add expected document transfers or laptop sharing before choosing the data amount; do not infer need from the city name alone.
What changes for two-city work?
Include the Yaoundé days in the validity choice and its calls, maps and files in the allowance estimate. Save both sets of appointment details separately so a live connection is not their only copy.
What should I save for Kribi?
Keep the exact lodging entrance, local contact and confirmed return arrangement offline. A coastal place name helps label the booking, but it cannot replace the practical address and meeting instructions.
Is neighbouring-country travel included?
Not through the Cameroon listing alone. Review the exact destination list of the plan you are considering, and arrange separate data for any border-crossing stage that is not explicitly included.
Can I tether a laptop?
Yes. On every Horizon Cameroon plan, hotspot use is free. The phone and connected laptop draw from the same plan allowance, and on a fixed-data plan Horizon does not throttle the connection; include work transfers in your estimate.
How do I prepare before arrival?
Install the profile on reliable Wi-Fi before departure, save manual setup details elsewhere and keep the line off. In Cameroon, its first successful supported-network connection begins the selected validity period.
Can I keep my WhatsApp and phone number with the Cameroon eSIM?
Yes. WhatsApp stays linked to your usual number and runs on the eSIM's data. On a dual-SIM phone, your usual SIM can stay on for ordinary calls and texts. Your home carrier may charge for calls, texts or data on that line, so turn off data roaming there.
Does the Cameroon eSIM include calls and texts?
No. Horizon plans are data-only, with no phone number for calls or texts. Use apps such as WhatsApp or FaceTime over the eSIM's data, or keep your usual SIM on for ordinary calls and texts.
Do I need to turn on data roaming for the Cameroon eSIM?
Yes. A travel eSIM connects to local networks as a roaming line, so turn on data roaming for the Horizon eSIM when you arrive. The plan is prepaid, so Horizon does not bill you after checkout. Keep data roaming off on your usual SIM to avoid charges from your home carrier.
What happens if I run out of data on the Cameroon eSIM?
You can buy more. If your plan supports a top-up, My eSIMs shows the data you can add to the same eSIM. If it does not, buy another Cameroon plan and install it the same way.
Will my phone work with the Cameroon eSIM?
It will if your phone supports eSIM and is not locked to your home carrier. Many recent iPhone and Android models do, but some regional versions do not, so check your exact model on the supported devices page before you buy.
See supported devicesWill Horizon slow down my data?
No. Horizon fixed-data plans have no throttling. There is no daily limit that slows you down, so you can use your whole plan in one day if you need to. Your speed depends on the local network, your signal and how busy the network is. When your data allowance is used up, the plan stops rather than slowing down.
Can I get a refund if I already used some data?
Yes. We always refund the full amount you paid when you request it, whether your eSIM is unused, partly used or fully used. There is no time limit for requesting a refund.
