About 90 providers and more than 2,600 prepaid data plans are available for use in Algeria, offering a wide variety of options that make it easy for travelers to find an eSIM that suits their needs.
For travelers to Algeria, a number of eSIM providers offer unlimited data plans. The providers include Firsty, Roamify, abesteSIM, Yoho Mobile, Truely, and Yesim. Some plans feature speed limits or throttling: Firsty caps speed at 256kbps, abesteSIM and Yoho Mobile limit speed to 5Mbps, and other plans may be throttled without a hard cap. The cost of these unlimited plans varies widely, ranging from free with Firsty to as high as about $449 for the most expensive option. Validity periods extend from a single day up to 30 days, with some plans offering 7‑30 days. Travelers should estimate their data requirements and choose a plan that provides enough allowance for their activities without imposing unwanted throttling.
In Algeria, the primary Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) are:
Mobilis: State-owned operator offering 2G, 3G, and 4G LTE services, known for its extensive coverage and competitive pricing.
Djezzy: Majority state-owned operator providing 2G, 3G, and 4G LTE services, recognized for its focus on innovation and customer experience.
Ooredoo Algeria: Part of the Ooredoo Group, offering 2G, 3G, and 4G LTE services, noted for strong data services and network performance.
As of now, Algeria's mobile market is primarily dominated by these three main operators, with no significant presence of Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs). MVNOs typically lease network capacity from existing operators to offer their own services. However, in Algeria, most travel eSIMs rely on the infrastructure of the major MNOs rather than MVNOs.
