- One-time payment

South Sudan eSIM for necessary visits
Choose mobile data for a necessary Juba stay or separately confirmed family and work arrangements in Wau or Malakal.
South Sudan and Sudan are separate countries, so confirm South Sudan in the plan details. For a necessary Juba visit, save the agreed pickup, first host or office address, entrance and contact before departure. Add Wau or Malakal only when family or work arrangements are already confirmed locally, and keep each city's meeting point, onward instructions and documents in its own offline note.

How eSIM works in South Sudan
Install the eSIM over reliable Wi-Fi before departure and leave its line off until South Sudan. After arriving in the country, choose Horizon for mobile data and enable data roaming on that line. Check the South Sudan validity rule before purchase: the period begins with the first successful connection to a supported network in the country. A compatible dual-SIM phone may keep your home SIM active during the visit; 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 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 South Sudan
Juba · City guide
Juba
For a necessary Juba visit, save the agreed arrival pickup, first host or office address, entrance and contact together. Ask the contact to reconfirm the meeting point before departure. Keep essential documents offline, and check that the plan's validity covers every night plus the departure day.
Juba eSIM — set up before you flyWau · City guide
Wau
Include Wau only when the family or work visit is separately confirmed. Save the local contact, exact meeting point, host or office address and next instruction apart from Juba details. Reconfirm the arrangement before leaving and keep it available offline.
Wau eSIM — set up before you flyMalakal · City guide
Malakal
For a confirmed Malakal arrangement, save the local meeting point, organiser or family contact, lodging instructions and onward address before departure. Keep essential documents and messages offline. Count every agreed day in Malakal separately from the Juba stay and check the total against the plan's validity.
Malakal eSIM — set up before you flyWhy Horizon
Keep every local arrangement distinct
Compare the validity and data on each plan card with the full confirmed stay; if the stay is longer, plan the remaining days before departure, and size data for essential messages, documents and app calls before any connected work device. With a South Sudan plan, hotspot is free, connected devices share the plan allowance, and Horizon does not throttle it. This eSIM is data-only and has no local number. Horizon offers South Sudan country plans outside its Africa regional bundle; Sudan and every other country need separate suitable plans.

Frequently asked questions
Is this South Sudan or Sudan?
This page is for South Sudan. South Sudan and Sudan are different countries, and the South Sudan plan does not include Sudan; choose a separate suitable plan there.
What should I save before Juba?
Save the agreed pickup, exact first address, entrance, host or office contact and essential documents offline. Ask the local contact to reconfirm the meeting point before departure.
How do I prepare for Wau or Malakal?
Travel only on the separately confirmed family or work arrangement. Save the local contact, exact meeting point, lodging instructions, next address and essential documents offline before departure.
Can I share data for work?
Yes. Hotspot with the South Sudan plan is free, and Horizon does not throttle it. A compatible phone is required; the phone and connected laptop share the plan allowance.
Is South Sudan in the Africa bundle?
No. Horizon offers South Sudan country plans, and South Sudan is outside the Africa regional bundle. Choose another suitable plan for Sudan or every other country.
Can the plan guarantee necessary communications?
No. A South Sudan country plan cannot guarantee signal or completion of a necessary message or call. Keep contacts, addresses, meeting instructions and essential documents available offline.
Can I keep my WhatsApp and phone number with the South Sudan 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 South Sudan 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 South Sudan 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 South Sudan 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 South Sudan plan and install it the same way.
Will my phone work with the South Sudan 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.
