## Networks

- Algeria: Mobilis (4G), Ooredoo (5G)

## Which Algeria eSIM plan do I need?

Start with how long you'll be away, then how much you'll use your phone.

- **A city break in Algiers or Oran:** for three days of standard use, pick 2 GB for 15 days. Good for maps, messages and a few Yassir rides.
- **A fortnight touring:** on 14 days of standard use, take 10 GB for 30 days. Your route might take in Constantine, Annaba and Ghardaïa.
- **A long stay:** for 30 days of standard use, pick 20 GB for 30 days. A month in Oran with social media, music and some video.
- **A trip that also takes in a neighbour:** for a week of standard use in Algeria, pick 5 GB for 30 days. If your route crosses other borders, the [Africa bundle](/esim/africa-21-countries) covers 21 countries.

Most plans can be topped up, and the longest one lasts 30 days.

## Will my eSIM have signal in Algeria?

Your eSIM joins Mobilis or Ooredoo, and your phone picks between them by itself. You can get 5G or 4G, whichever the network offers where you are.

Cities and the northern coast are well covered, from Algiers and Oran to Annaba. Signal is patchy in the Sahara, so download your maps before you head south.

- Your data reaches the internet through the United Kingdom, a normal setup for travel eSIMs. See [IP addresses in another country](/help/ip-address-another-country).
- Daily plans slow to 512 Kbps once you've used the day's allowance.

## Using your phone in Algeria: data and apps tips

- **Arriving:** Install your eSIM at home on Wi-Fi, then land at Algiers (ALG), Oran (ORN) or Constantine (CZL) and switch it on. Keep [data roaming](/help/turn-on-data-roaming) on for the eSIM line, and it connects to Mobilis or Ooredoo on 5G or 4G.
- **Getting around:** Yassir is the local ride app. Set it up at home on Wi-Fi, ready for Algiers, Oran, Constantine, Annaba or Ghardaïa.
- **Staying in touch:** Message on WhatsApp or Facebook Messenger over your eSIM data, while your home number stays on for calls and texts. Here's how to [keep WhatsApp and your home number together](/help/keep-whatsapp-and-home-number).
- **Blocked services:** Social media and messaging apps can be restricted during national exams, usually in June. If a site won't load then, your eSIM can give you a United Kingdom IP address, which can help.
- **Data:** Light use, such as maps, messages and email, is about 0.25 GB a day. Most plans can be topped up if you need more.
