Algeria travel data eSIM
What is an Algeria eSIM?
An Algeria eSIM gives travelers a ready‑to‑use data connection the moment they land in North Africa’s largest country. After installing the eSIM at home, you arrive in Algiers, Oran or any other destination with a data‑only plan already active, letting you navigate cities, check transport schedules, and stay in touch without hunting for a local SIM.
In Algeria the eSIM connects to Mobilis 4G, tapping the operator’s network for data services. Your chosen data allowance—ranging from 1 GB for a week to 20 GB for a month—counts only after you first connect within the country, letting you manage usage based on your itinerary.

Questions people actually ask
If yours is not here, write to us — we answer within 24 hours.
Which operator does the Algeria eSIM use and what does that mean for a traveller?
The eSIM uses Mobilis 4G. This gives you access to Mobilis’s data network across Algeria, so you can use any data‑enabled app as long as you are within the operator’s coverage area.
Can the Algeria eSIM be used in a neighbouring country like Morocco?
No, it is a single‑country plan valid only in Algeria. For trips that include multiple countries, regional eSIM plans are available that cover several neighboring destinations.
Which plan size suits a trip to Algiers and Oran?
As a rough guide, a 5 GB or 10 GB 30‑day plan often fits a two‑city visit, offering enough data for navigation, local apps, and occasional streaming without excess.
Will I lose my own phone number?
No. Your physical SIM stays in the phone and keeps your number for calls and WhatsApp. The eSIM only carries data, so both work side by side.
When does my plan start counting down?
When the eSIM first connects to a network at your destination — not when you buy it. So you can install it days before you fly without losing any time.
Is my phone compatible?
Most phones from 2018 onwards are: iPhone XS and later, Google Pixel 3 and later, Samsung Galaxy S20 and later. Your phone also has to be carrier-unlocked. Dial *#06# — if an EID appears, you have eSIM. Full list on our Device Compatibility page.
How fast will I get my QR code?
Usually within a couple of minutes of payment, by email. If it has not arrived, check spam first, then write to us and we will resend it immediately.
Can I use hotspot or tethering?
Yes, on every plan we sell. Share the connection with a laptop, a tablet or the rest of your group.
What if I change my mind?
If you have not installed the eSIM, you get a full refund within 180 days. Once a profile is activated and data has been used it cannot be refunded — the allowance is consumed from the network. Full detail in our Refund Policy.
Do you sell plans for groups?
Yes. For Umrah and Hajj groups, student trips and tour operators we deliver the QR codes as a single batch before departure, at group rates. Email us with your group size and destination.
