Network Coverage in Algeria
Algeria has three main mobile operators: Djezzy, Mobilis, and Ooredoo Algeria. All three operate 4G LTE networks concentrated in the northern part of the country where most of the population and tourist activity is located.
Algiers, the capital, has strong 4G coverage across the city including the Casbah, the waterfront, and the airport area. Oran on the northwest coast and Constantine in the northeast both have solid urban 4G. The Mediterranean coastal belt from the Moroccan border to the Tunisian border generally has consistent 4G in towns and along the main highway.
The Sahara Desert covers the southern two-thirds of Algeria and has very limited mobile coverage. Tamanrasset in the deep south, a gateway for Sahara tourism, has some coverage in the town centre but signal fades rapidly outside. The Tassili n'Ajjer plateau, Hoggar Mountains, and vast desert regions away from main towns have no signal. travellers heading into the Sahara should download all maps and guides before leaving northern cities. Australian travellers should confirm their handset is unlocked and supports the local network bands.

Cat
On a trip to Europe, my hotel Wi-Fi was so slow and outside Wi-Fi was unreliable. I couldn’t take it anymore so I got helloroam for a few days. It was tricky to set up correctly because of the primary settings (with my original number). But I reached out to their customer service via WhatsApp. Super responsive and helpful, with specific and clear steps to troubleshoot. Appreciate having 4G roaming instead of being stuck with in and out Wi-Fi during my trip!!
Rated 5 out of 5 by this reviewer
Very good experience! The eSIM was easy to set up and worked great in London. It was much cheaper than it would have been to use my own operator there.
