English
An eSIM for Algeria is a digital data plan for the phone you already own. There is no physical SIM card, no airport lines, and no passport needed. Your plan is ready on your SIMAREA account before you even leave home.
It works safely alongside your normal SIM. You keep your own number for calls and important text messages. Your data goes through the SIMAREA plan. Just turn off data roaming on your home SIM to avoid high bills.
Every plan here uses more than one partner network. Your phone joins one when you arrive and can switch to another if the signal weakens.
If you stay longer, top up your current plan with more data. You do not need to buy a new one.
What it is not: a local phone number. If you need a number for verification codes, see virtual numbers.
Algeria eSIM on Mobilis and Ooredoo
5GData for a family visit to Oran or a work month in Algiers, with two networks on every plan. Choose a day pass or a fixed plan from 100 MB to 50 GB.
The unlimited plan is the day pass we feature for Algeria: after its daily full-speed allowance it keeps you connected at a lower speed, and it is billed per day for the days you choose. Fixed plans are one price for the term shown. Nothing on this page is an estimate.
How to get mobile data in Algeria
Install it at home before you go. Some plans here start counting at installation, so check the line under the price for the plan you pick.
Pick eSIM plan

What to know about an eSIM for Algeria
The specifics that decide whether a travel eSIM is useful once you're actually there.
More than one network
Every plan here lists more than one partner network. If one gets weak, your phone can switch to another.
Set up before you go
No SIM card store, no passport check. Install it at home, then turn on data roaming for it when you arrive.
Hotspot sharing
Share your internet with a laptop or a friend, if your plan and phone allow it.
Keep your own number
The eSIM is just for internet. Your normal SIM still receives calls and important bank codes. You can use both at once.
Keep using the same eSIM
Staying longer? Top up the same plan with more data from your dashboard. No need for a new QR code.
If it does not work
Not installed or connected yet? Ask for a refund within 30 days of buying it. Installed but not working on any of its networks? Support helps, and refunds you if it cannot be fixed.
Algeria eSIM: Mobilis, Ooredoo, and a UK exit
Each of the eleven Algeria plans, a day pass and ten fixed plans, lists two networks: Mobilis and Ooredoo. Only Ooredoo carries a 5G mark in the catalog. Mobilis has none on any of them.
The exit is the United Kingdom on all eleven. A website you open sees a UK address, not an Algerian one.
Algeria plan sizes, from 100 MB to 50 GB
Seven days come with 100 MB, 500 MB, or 1 GB, and 15 days with 2 GB or 3 GB. The 30-day plans are the widest set: 3, 5, 10, 20, or 50 GB. Apart from these, the day pass has 1 GB a day at full speed and 512 Kbps after that, until the day resets.
The 100 MB plan is the only one whose days begin at installation, so wait until you're there to install it. The other ten begin at the first connection in Algeria, so those can go on your phone before your trip. Unused, any of the eleven stays valid for 180 days.
A top-up puts more data on the same eSIM but no more days. A stay past 30 days means buying another Algeria plan once the first ends.
No regional or global plan names Algeria
Algeria isn't named on the Africa eSIM list, the Middle East eSIM lists, the Europe eSIM lists, or the Global 130 list. A multi-country plan bought for the rest of a trip won't show Algeria among its countries, so compare the plans on this page instead.
That shapes a trip with a neighbor. Tunisia and Morocco are on the Africa, Middle East, and Global 130 lists, but no multi-country list holds them together with Algeria. Plan on two eSIMs if your phone holds more than one: an Algeria plan for Algeria, and for the other stop either that country's own plan or a multi-country one.
Questions about an Algeria eSIM
Is Algeria on the Global 130 or Africa eSIM?
It isn't named on either list, or on any Middle East or Europe list. For Algeria, choose from the eleven plans on this page.
Which Algerian network has 5G on these plans?
Ooredoo. The catalog marks 5G there on the day pass and on all ten fixed plans, and it marks none on Mobilis.
Is the Algeria day pass unlimited?
Only in the sense that it doesn't stop. After 1 GB a day at full speed, it drops to 512 Kbps until the day resets.
Can I get a +213 number with this eSIM?
An Algeria plan is data only: no +213 number, no calls, no SMS. Your regular SIM goes on handling your own number. Renting a number that receives SMS is a separate purchase, listed under virtual numbers.
Can I share the connection with a laptop?
Yes, if your plan and phone allow it. Whatever the laptop uses comes out of the plan's own data, from the 100 MB plan up to the 50 GB one.
