- 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?

Sudan eSIM for essential visits
Choose mobile data for confirmed arrival coordination, a family stay or pre-arranged work in Sudan.
Sudan and South Sudan are separate countries, so check Sudan in the plan before purchase. Use the actual Port Sudan arrival point written on confirmed travel documents and share it with the agreed local contact. In Khartoum, keep the precise family or work address and current meeting instructions offline. Add Dongola only when a local host or organiser has already confirmed it as part of an essential visit.

How eSIM works in Sudan
Install the eSIM over reliable Wi-Fi before departure and leave its line off until Sudan. Once you are in Sudan, select Horizon for mobile data and enable data roaming on that line. Check the validity rule before purchase: the period starts with the first successful connection to a supported network in the country. A compatible dual-SIM phone can 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 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 Sudan
Port Sudan · City guide
Port Sudan

Port Sudan eSIM — set up before you flyKhartoum · City guide
Khartoum
For an essential Khartoum stay, save the precise family or work address, entrance, local contact and current meeting instructions together. Ask the contact to confirm those details before departure. Keep documents offline and choose validity for every agreed night and the departure day.
Khartoum eSIM — set up before you flyDongola · City guide
Dongola
Add Dongola only when it is already part of an essential visit confirmed by a local host or organiser. Save that person's contact, the exact meeting point, lodging instruction and next address separately from Khartoum or Port Sudan notes. Keep everything offline before departure.
Dongola eSIM — set up before you flyWhy Horizon
Base the plan on confirmed details
Compare the actual time in Sudan with the validity on the plan cards and size data for essential messages, documents, app calls and any connected work device. On Sudan plans, hotspot is free, devices share the plan allowance, and Horizon does not throttle it. The eSIM is data-only with no local number. Horizon sells Sudan country plans outside both its North Africa selection and Africa regional bundle; South Sudan and other countries need separate suitable plans.

Frequently asked questions
Is this Sudan or South Sudan?
This page is for Sudan. Sudan and South Sudan are separate countries, and a Sudan plan does not include South Sudan; select a separate suitable plan there.
What should I save before arrival?
Save the exact arrival point from confirmed travel documents, agreed local contact, first address, entrance, current meeting instructions and essential documents offline.
How do I choose for a family stay?
Count the actual arrival, every night and departure day, and compare them with the validity on the plan cards. Size data for regular messages, app calls, shared updates and essential documents, then add any connected device.
What if another city is included?
Add it only when the essential visit is already confirmed with a local host or organiser. Keep that city's contact, meeting point, lodging instruction and dates separate.
Can I share data for documents?
Yes. Hotspot with the Sudan plan is free, and Horizon does not throttle it. A compatible phone is required; the phone and connected work device share the plan allowance.
Is Sudan in the North Africa plan?
No. Horizon offers Sudan country plans, and Sudan is outside both the North Africa selection and Africa regional bundle. Choose separate suitable plans for South Sudan or every other country.
Can I keep my WhatsApp and phone number with the 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 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 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 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 Sudan plan and install it the same way.
Will my phone work with the 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.
