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.

- 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.

Senegal eSIM for Dakar, the coast and Saint-Louis
Use a Senegal eSIM for data during a Dakar stay, a booked transfer to Saly or Somone, or a Saint-Louis visit with a separately organised delta day.
For a Gorée or Ngor outing, retain the city lodging, the booked meeting point and the return arrangement without assuming data during the crossing. A Petite Côte stay should name Saly Portudal or Somone and the actual hotel entrance. Farther north, a Saint-Louis address does not identify the guide or meeting place for Djoudj National Park or a Senegal River delta visit.

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.

How eSIM works in Senegal
Install the eSIM on dependable Wi-Fi before travel and save the QR code and instructions separately. Keep the line disabled until Senegal, then select Horizon for mobile data and enable data roaming on that line. For this Senegal product, the first successful connection to a supported network in Senegal starts the selected validity period. Store transfer, island-day and delta contacts offline before leaving your accommodation.
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 Senegal
Dakar · City guide
Dakar
A Dakar day can combine museums, markets or the railway-station area with a booked Gorée or Ngor outing. Keep the land-based meeting point and organiser updates available, and save how you will return to the city.
Dakar eSIM — set up before you flySaly and Somone · City guide
Saly and Somone
Saly Portudal and Somone are separate coastal places, so a general Dakar address is not enough for the final transfer. Save the exact accommodation entrance and pickup contact.
Saly and Somone eSIM — set up before you flySaint-Louis and the delta · City guide
Saint-Louis and the delta
Saint-Louis is a northern city base linked by the Faidherbe Bridge, while Djoudj National Park and Senegal River delta visits require their own arrangements. Save the guide’s name, meeting place and return contact before departure.
Saint-Louis and the delta eSIM — set up before you flyWhy Horizon
Why choose an eSIM for Senegal?
Preparing an eSIM before travel keeps the Senegal data line ready for organiser messages, maps and internet calls between booked stages. Hotspot is free on every Horizon plan, and Horizon does not throttle its use; the phone and connected devices share one plan allowance. The service is data-only and includes no local number. A compatible dual-SIM phone can retain your home line, although its provider may charge for calls, messages or roaming.

Frequently asked questions
Is my final transfer for Dakar, Saly or Somone?
Saly Portudal and Somone are distinct Petite Côte locations, not Dakar neighbourhoods. Save the exact town, hotel entrance and driver or host contact before arrival rather than sending only a Dakar pin.
What should I save for a Gorée or Ngor outing?
Keep the booked meeting point on land, organiser contact, any ticket reference and the planned return to Dakar. Confirm the crossing arrangements with your organiser and save the details offline before leaving land.
How should I prepare for a Saint-Louis and delta day?
Save the Saint-Louis lodging and old-city address separately from the Djoudj or river meeting place. Keep the guide’s name and return contact available offline.
Does a Senegal plan cover The Gambia or Mauritania?
No border crossing is included by geography alone. A Senegal country plan lists Senegal, and Senegal is outside Horizon’s current Africa regional package. Check The Gambia or Mauritania explicitly in the product details for a route that enters either country.
Can I keep my number while using Senegal data?
The Horizon eSIM is data-only and does not include a local number. On a compatible dual-SIM device, keep your usual SIM enabled for its number and select Horizon for mobile data. Your home provider may charge for calls, texts or roaming on that usual line.
When does validity start, and can I use hotspot?
The first successful connection to a supported network in Senegal starts this product’s selected validity; installation or an unsuccessful attempt does not. Hotspot is free and not throttled by Horizon. Your phone and all connected devices use one shared plan allowance, so count their combined tasks when choosing data.
Does the Senegal 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 Senegal 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 Senegal 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 Senegal plan and install it the same way.
Will my phone work with the Senegal 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.
