THE SHORT ANSWER

Our data verdict

Horizon is a practical web-store pick when a local or regional pack is competitive and you want hotspot plus a 7-day unused-data refund. Our live sample currently runs from €0.20 to €1.20, with a median limited-plan value of €0.83 per GB. Apply ESIMG at checkout, keep your home SIM for calls, and treat Horizon as a 2026-era reseller rather than a long-rated marketplace app.

Full comparison rules are documented on the methodology page.

What stands out

  • 190+ destination catalog with country, regional and global packs
  • Hotspot sharing included on every Horizon eSIM plan
  • 7-day 100% refund if no data has been used, even after install
  • ESIMG currently records 10% off eligible data plans

What to verify

  • Data-only: no phone number, calls or SMS; messaging apps run over data
  • Horizon is a reseller: two plans for the same country can list different local carriers
  • The store opened in 2026, so public app-store ratings and long-run reliability data are still thin
  • Account cashback is Horizon credit, not a card refund, and guest checkout does not earn it

EDITORIAL CONTEXT

What travelers should know

Horizon (horizonesim.com) sells prepaid travel data with local, regional and global footprints. The consumer brand is run by LuShen L.L.C. (trade name LSHTech), registered in Pristina, Kosovo; the store opened in 2026. Horizon is a reseller, not a mobile network operator: packs run on local carriers sourced from wholesale providers, so two plans for the same country can list different networks. Packs are data-only. Horizon states that personal hotspot is included on all eSIM plans, and that unused orders can be refunded in full within 7 days even after install, until data is used. Payment is processed by Paysera. eSIM Giga currently lists ESIMG for 10% off when the promotion record is active. Destination checkout links keep the merchant path from the catalog and apply aff=ESIMG rather than replacing them with a hardcoded homepage.

PROVIDER FAQ

Horizon eSIM questions

Direct answers based on the current catalog, editorial record and promotion data.

Is Horizon data-only?

Yes. Horizon eSIM plans do not include a phone number, calls or SMS. Keep your primary SIM for banks and OTPs; use apps over the travel data line.

Does Horizon include hotspot?

Horizon states that personal hotspot is included on all eSIM plans, so laptop tethering is part of the product pitch rather than an add-on. Still confirm your phone can share data.

How do I use the ESIMG promo on Horizon?

eSIM Giga currently lists ESIMG for 10% off Horizon data plans when the promotion record is active. Catalog checkout links apply aff=ESIMG; confirm the payable total before you pay.

Is Horizon a good eSIM provider?

Horizon should be assessed for the destination and data allowance you need. eSIM Giga currently tracks 1,400 plans across 150 sampled destinations, with a median limited-plan value of €0.83 per GB.

Does Horizon support 5G and hotspot use?

In the current Horizon sample, hotspot/tethering is available on all plans and 87% advertise 5G. Confirm 5G and partner network details on the destination offer before checkout.

Does Horizon offer unlimited eSIM plans?

Horizon currently shows no unlimited-style country plans in the eSIM Giga catalog sample. Compare limited packs by total price and €/GB instead, and re-check later as inventories change.

Does Horizon have a promo code?

The current eSIM Giga promotion record lists code ESIMG. Eligibility can depend on the account, plan and checkout terms, so confirm the discount in the payable total.
