## Algeria coverage and networks

LinkPaLS plans in Algeria connect through Mobilis and Ooredoo. Your phone joins the strongest available network automatically, with 4G and 5G speeds where the network supports them.

| Network | Technology |
| --- | --- |
| Mobilis | 4G |
| Ooredoo | 5G |

Data on these plans exits through United Kingdom. That's normal for travel eSIMs; it means some websites may show content for United Kingdom rather than Algeria.

## eSIM vs local SIM vs roaming in Algeria

|  | LinkPaLS eSIM | Local SIM card | Home roaming |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Set up | At home, before you fly | On arrival, at a shop or kiosk | Already on |
| ID needed | None | Usually a passport | None |
| Your home number | Stays on | Removed while the SIM is out | Stays on |
| Cost | From $41.27, paid once | Low, but only after arrival | Often the most expensive |
| Best for | Most travelers | Long stays with a local number | Very short emergency use |

For most trips to Algeria, an eSIM gives you the best of both: local data prices without losing your number, and no time spent finding a SIM shop after a long flight.
