Syria's mobile telecommunications sector is served by three primary Mobile Network Operators (MNOs):

• Syriatel: Established in 2000, Syriatel is one of Syria's leading mobile operators, offering GSM, 3G, and 4G/LTE services.

• MTN Syria: Formerly known as Areeba, MTN Syria provides GSM and 3.5G broadband 4G (LTE) services.

• Wafa Telecom: Granted a license in 2022, Wafa Telecom is the newest entrant in the Syrian mobile market, with exclusive rights to operate 5G services.

Currently, there are no significant Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs) in Syria. Most travel eSIMs rely on the infrastructure provided by the major MNOs listed above.

Travel eSIM plans that provide a phone number and support both voice and SMS are available for Syria through LinkeSIM. The “Africa Plus 10 GO for 31 days” plan costs about $19.90 USD, includes up to 10 GB of data and offers 31 days of validity. The number supplied uses the French dialing code +33, meaning it is not a local Syrian number, but it supports inbound and outbound voice calls and inbound and outbound SMS.
