Niger eSIM for essential stays
Choose mobile data for a necessary Niamey stay or separately confirmed family and work arrangements in Agadez or Zinder.
Niger and Nigeria are different countries, so confirm Niger on the plan before purchase. A necessary visit may stay in Niamey, while Agadez or Zinder should appear only when local family or work arrangements are already agreed. Save the Niamey arrival and first address, and keep each additional city's host, meeting point and precise destination in a separate offline note.
Refund policy
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.
No first-use deadline

How eSIM works in Niger
Install the eSIM over reliable Wi-Fi before departure and leave its line off until Niger. On arrival, set Horizon as the mobile data line and enable data roaming for it. Check the Niger validity rule before purchase: the period begins with the first successful connection to a supported network in the country. During the Niger stay, a compatible dual-SIM phone may keep your home SIM active; its provider may charge for 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 10 GB data allowance covers roughly 3,300 shared photos, 167 hours of social media and browsing, 29 hours of video calls, 125 hours of music streaming, or about 2000 hours of maps and navigation. Messaging apps barely use data.

Important cities in Niger
Niamey · City guide
Niamey
For a necessary stay in Niamey, save the agreed arrival point, first family or work address, entrance and contact together. Keep essential documents available offline before departure. Choose validity for every night and the departure day, not only the first arrival.
Niamey eSIM — set up before you flyAgadez · City guide
Agadez
Include Agadez only when it is already part of a necessary family or work visit. Save the local host or office contact, exact meeting point and next address separately from Niamey. Ask the contact to reconfirm the arrangement and keep the details offline.
Agadez eSIM — set up before you flyZinder and Birni · City guide
Zinder and Birni
For an agreed visit to Zinder, save the precise city address, entrance and local contact. The name Birni can identify a historic quarter, but it is not enough to locate a family home or workplace. Keep the meeting instructions offline and include all Zinder days in validity.
Zinder and Birni eSIM — set up before you flyWhy Horizon
Confirm the country and every address
Cover the full stay and size data for essential messages, documents, app calls and any connected work device. Hotspot is free on every Horizon plan, devices share the plan allowance, and Horizon does not throttle it. The Niger eSIM is data-only and has no local number. Horizon offers Niger country plans outside its Africa regional bundle; Nigeria and every other country need separate suitable plans.

Frequently asked questions
Is this Niger or Nigeria?
This page is for Niger. Nigeria is a different country and needs its own suitable plan. Confirm the country name and destination list before purchase.
What should I prepare for Niamey?
Save the agreed arrival point, first family or work address, entrance, local contact and essential documents offline. Choose validity for the full capital stay.
How should I handle Agadez or Zinder?
Use only already agreed family or work arrangements. Save the exact address, host or office contact and meeting point for that city separately, and ask for confirmation before departure.
Can I share data for work?
Yes. Hotspot with the Niger plan is free, and Horizon does not throttle it. A compatible phone is required; the phone and connected work devices share the plan allowance.
Is Niger in the Africa regional bundle?
No. Horizon offers Niger country plans, and Niger is outside the Africa regional bundle. Choose the Niger plan for this stay and separate suitable plans for Nigeria or every other country.
Does it promise coverage outside cities?
No. A Niger country plan does not promise reception at every rural or Saharan point. Keep exact addresses, local contacts, meeting instructions and essential documents offline.
Can I keep my WhatsApp and phone number with the Niger 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 Niger 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 Niger 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 Niger 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 Niger plan and install it the same way.
Will my phone work with the Niger 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.
