Algeria travel data guide
A Algeria eSIM from RoamZivo is a prepaid data plan for Algeria that you install before you fly. Plans in Algeria run on Mobilis and Ooredoo, with 5G where the operator offers it. The eSIM is data only, so your own SIM stays in for calls and texts.
There are 19 plans to choose from. Data sizes run from 1 GB to 50 GB, validity from 1 to 30 days, and prices start at $1.99. Unlimited plans are listed too, each with its own fair use line. Hotspot sharing is supported on every plan. Top ups are available on some of the fixed data plans and go onto the same eSIM.
Visiting more than one country? The Africa eSIM covers Algeria and 20 other countries on one plan, from $8.99. The Middle East eSIM covers Algeria and 20 other countries on one plan, from $6.99.
Your days start the first time the eSIM connects in Algeria, not when you buy, so you can install it at home days early. For a week of maps, messaging and social apps, most travellers are fine with 3 to 5 GB. Video calls or streaming need more, or an unlimited plan. Travel data in Algeria from RoamZivo arrives as a QR code by email, with a copy kept in your account.
Algeria FAQ
Does the eSIM work everywhere in Algeria?
It connects wherever Mobilis and Ooredoo have signal, which is the same network local customers use. The eSIM is data only.
When do my days start?
On the first connection in Algeria, not at purchase. The plan selected above (2 GB) runs for 15 days from that moment. You can install the eSIM at home and the clock stays still until you connect.
Do I get a local phone number in Algeria?
No. The eSIM is data only. Your own SIM stays in for calls and texts, and WhatsApp keeps working over the eSIM data.
Can I share data with my laptop?
Yes. Hotspot sharing is supported on the plan selected above, so your laptop or tablet can use the eSIM data through your phone.
Will I get 5G with an eSIM for Algeria?
Some Algeria plans are sold as 4G/5G and Ooredoo is listed with 5G, so it is possible. Mobilis is listed with 4G. Your phone must support 5G too, and we do not promise a network type in any particular place.
Do I get an Algerian phone number with this eSIM?
No, the Algeria eSIM is data only and has no phone number, calls or SMS. Keep your home SIM active for texts such as bank codes, and use apps like WhatsApp over the data connection for calling.
Is 3 GB enough for two weeks in Algeria?
For light use in Algeria, 3 GB over 15 days is enough for maps, messaging and some browsing. It will not stretch to daily video. If you expect heavier use, the 10 GB plan valid for 30 days gives more room.
When do the days on my Algeria plan start?
The days start when the eSIM first connects to a network in Algeria. Buying and installing it at home does not start the clock, so you can set everything up over WiFi a few days ahead.
Do I need WiFi to install the eSIM?
Yes, you need an internet connection to download the eSIM, and WiFi at home is the easy way. Doing it before you travel to Algeria means you are not hunting for a connection in the arrivals hall.
Can I use my Algeria eSIM as a hotspot?
Yes, hotspot is allowed on all Algeria plans. Data used by a connected laptop or tablet comes out of your allowance, and on an unlimited plan it counts toward the daily full speed amount.
What happens if I use up the daily amount on an unlimited plan?
Your Algeria eSIM keeps working, only slower. After the daily 1 GB or 3 GB the speed drops to up to 1 Mbps, and full speed returns the following day.
How do I top up if I run low?
The plan selected above does not offer top ups. Buy a new plan from this page instead and install it as a second eSIM.
