Mobile internet speeds in Algeria can vary depending on the operator and the region. In major cities such as Algiers and Oran, speeds are generally higher than in rural areas and can reach 4G.
Before traveling to Algeria, make sure your phone supports eSIM technology. Most modern smartphones, such as iPhone XS and newer, as well as some Samsung and Google models, support eSIM.
