Mobilis across the populated north
Your eSIM connects to Mobilis on 4G. Algeria is the largest country in Africa, but the great majority of its population lives on the northern coastal strip, and that's where the network is.
Algiers, Oran, Constantine, Annaba and Tlemcen are all covered, as are the Roman sites at Timgad, Djémila and Tipaza and the roads between them.
The Sahara, and a word on travel advice
Around four-fifths of Algeria is desert with very little coverage. The Tassili n'Ajjer and Hoggar regions in the deep south are spectacular and remote, and trips there run with organised operators for good reason.
UK travel advice has for some years placed restrictions on parts of southern and border Algeria. Check it before planning anything beyond the north — it affects insurance as much as safety.
How much data
Algeria is well priced. A fortnight on the northern circuit runs comfortably on 5 GB at £6.99, and there's a 50 GB plan at £54.99 for longer stays or work trips.
Good to know
Questions, answered
Is there coverage in the Sahara?+
Very little. Roughly four-fifths of Algeria is desert with minimal network, and deep southern trips run with organised operators carrying their own communications.
Are there travel restrictions I should know about?+
UK travel advice has for some years restricted parts of southern and border Algeria. Check the current guidance before planning anything beyond the northern coastal region — it affects your insurance as well as your safety.
How do I install it?+
After checkout we email your eSIM and a QR code. Scan it in your phone's settings, switch the line on, and you're ready — do it before you fly and it activates when you land.
Will it work on my phone?+
Most phones from the last few years support eSIM (iPhone XS and newer, recent Samsung/Pixel). Check your phone in Settings, or use our compatibility checker.
When does my plan start?+
Validity counts from first connection in the destination, not from purchase — so you can buy and install early without wasting days.
Can I keep using my normal number?+
Yes. The eSIM is data-only and runs alongside your usual SIM, so calls and texts on your main number still work.
Networks
Your eSIM hops onto the strongest of Algeria’s local networks automatically — no setup, no choosing.
