The mobile penetration in Algeria is close to 100% and thus the subscriber growth in Algeria’s telecom market has slowed down in the recent years. The 3 major networks in Algeria are Algerie Telecom’s Mobilis, Orascom’s Djezzy, and Wataniya’s Nedjma. There is a huge price war between these operators. |

These companies are looking to impress users with data plans and 3G holds a great future here in the coming years. Do expect a big jump in subscribers as 3G comes in. |

1. Total mobile subscriber connections in Algeria to reach 37.8 million in 2015
2. Djezzy will continue to hold a dominant position in Algeria with a 44.7% market share in 2015.
