- One-time payment

Mozambique eSIM for city, coast and islands
Choose mobile data for a Maputo stay, named accommodation on the Inhambane coast or a separate Bazaruto booking.
A Mozambique itinerary may centre on work in Maputo, add a named stay at Tofo or elsewhere on the Inhambane coast, or include a separately arranged Bazaruto visit through Vilanculos. Save the hotel or office entrance in Maputo, the exact coastal lodging, and the Vilanculos transfer meeting point with the correct bookings. Keep island instructions and return details offline.

How eSIM works in Mozambique
Install the eSIM over reliable Wi-Fi before departure, save the instructions and leave its line off until Mozambique. On arrival, choose Horizon for mobile data and enable data roaming on that line. Check validity before purchase: it begins with the first successful connection to a supported network in Mozambique. A compatible dual-SIM phone may keep the home SIM active, but its provider may charge for its use.
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 1 GB data allowance covers roughly 330 shared photos, 17 hours of social media and browsing, 2.9 hours of video calls, 13 hours of music streaming, or about 200 hours of maps and navigation. Messaging apps barely use data.

Important cities in Mozambique
Maputo · City guide
Maputo
For Maputo, save the actual hotel or office entrance rather than only a district name. If a meeting uses the railway station, a garden or a museum as a landmark, record the exact side and contact. Keep the first address and essential files offline before arrival.
Maputo eSIM — set up before you flyTofo and the Inhambane coast · City guide
Tofo and the Inhambane coast
For a Tofo or Inhambane-coast stay, save the precise lodging, host and meeting entrance. The province name alone is too broad for arrival details and should not be treated as the city of Inhambane. Add all coastal nights and transfer days to the selected validity.
Tofo and the Inhambane coast eSIM — set up before you flyVilanculos and Bazaruto · City guide
Vilanculos and Bazaruto
If a Bazaruto stay or excursion is booked, save the Vilanculos transfer meeting point separately from the island accommodation or organiser. Store return instructions and essential booking files offline. A country plan does not promise reception on the boat, across the archipelago or at every island location.

Match the plan to each booking
Count every night and transfer day, then compare the displayed allowance with messages, maps, uploads and any laptop sharing. Hotspot is free on every Horizon plan, connected devices share the plan allowance, and Horizon does not throttle it. The Mozambique eSIM is data-only and has no local number. Horizon offers Mozambique country plans outside its Africa regional bundle; choose separately for every other country.

Frequently asked questions
What fits a Maputo city stay?
Cover every city day and compare the current allowance with work messages, documents and occasional navigation. Save the exact hotel or office entrance offline.
What should I save for the Inhambane coast?
Save the exact Tofo or other coastal lodging, host, meeting entrance and return booking. The province name alone is not a usable arrival address.
What changes with a Bazaruto booking?
Keep the Vilanculos transfer meeting point separate from the island booking and organiser. Save return instructions and essential files offline before leaving the mainland.
Can I share data with a laptop?
Yes. Hotspot with the Mozambique plan is free, and Horizon does not throttle it. A compatible phone is required; the phone and laptop share the plan allowance.
Does a South Africa plan include Mozambique?
No. A South Africa country plan does not include Mozambique. Choose a separate suitable Mozambique plan, and do the same for Eswatini or any other country.
Does the plan promise island or boat reception?
No. A Mozambique country plan does not promise reception on every island, boat or excursion. Save accommodation, meeting point, organiser and return booking offline before an arranged island transfer.
Can I keep my WhatsApp and phone number with the Mozambique 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 Mozambique 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 Mozambique 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 Mozambique 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 Mozambique plan and install it the same way.
Will my phone work with the Mozambique 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.
