Choose a plan and pay on the product page (card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, PayPal or crypto). 2. The eSIM QR code arrives by email; install it before you travel (Settings > Mobile/Cellular > Add eSIM). 3. On arrival, select the eSIM for mobile data and turn on data roaming for it. Your own SIM stays in the phone for calls and SMS. Data-only: the eSIM has no phone number. Requires an eSIM-compatible, carrier-unlocked phone. ## Your eSIM for Algeria, ready when you land One plan covers the country, so the same eSIM works in Algiers, Oran and the northern cities along the coast. Install it before you travel, switch off airplane mode on arrival, and you are online without sorting out a local SIM and its paperwork. ## Getting online at Algiers and Oran The eSIM connects automatically when you turn off airplane mode at Algiers Houari Boumediene (ALG) or Oran (ORN). Your transfer, ride app and maps are ready the moment you clear the terminal. ## Coverage in the cities, the coast and the Sahara Algeria's networks - Mobilis, Djezzy and Ooredoo - give 4G/LTE across Algiers, Oran, Constantine and the populated northern coast, with 5G appearing in parts of the cities. Because so much of the country is desert, coverage thins sharply heading south into the Sahara, so plan for offline stretches on any deep-desert travel. ## Calling home and getting around Data, maps, messaging and streaming work normally on the eSIM in the covered areas, which is far simpler than queuing for a local SIM. As in many countries in the region, rely on messaging apps for staying in touch and download offline maps before you leave the coastal cities. ## The Algeria visa from the UK: £85, cash or postal order British passport holders need a visa, applied for before travel through the Algerian Consulate in London: £85 for all visa types except work (£270) and transit (£60), payable in pounds and only by cash or postal order. Your passport needs six months' validity and, the consulate says, two blank pages. A visa on arrival exists only for trips mostly in the south booked through an approved local agency. Do not overstay: the Foreign Office warns of detention at the airport and possible prosecution (gov.uk, updated 25 September 2026). Declare cash over 5,000 euros on entry and exit; only residents may carry Algerian dinar notes. ## Flights, time and your UK plan Air Algérie flies non-stop from Heathrow to Algiers in under three hours, four times a week from 25 October. Algeria is on UK time in British Summer Time and one hour ahead in winter. Sockets are the European two-pin kind. On a UK plan, EE charges £6 a day (£30 a week), O2 has no daily pass - bolt-ons from £26 for 100MB - Vodafone needs an eight-day pass from £10 for 50MB, and Three's checker shows no data service in Algeria. The Foreign Office adds that coverage is patchy in remote areas, especially in the south. ## FAQ ### Do I need local paperwork to use the eSIM in Algeria? No. A travel eSIM installs from a QR code and needs no local SIM registration or paperwork - you set it up yourself before or on arrival. ### Is there coverage in the Sahara? Coverage follows the populated north - the cities and the coast. It thins sharply in the Sahara, so download offline maps and plan for long offline stretches on any deep-desert travel. ### Is coverage good in Algiers and Oran? Yes. The main northern cities and the coast have solid 4G/LTE, with 5G appearing in places - plenty for maps, messaging and streaming. ### How much is an Algeria visa for British citizens? £85 for tourist and most other visas at the Algerian Consulate General in London, paid in pounds by cash or postal order only (checked 9 October 2026). --- Source: https://www.esimpass.co.uk/esim/esim-algeria - eSIMpass, Elemento Logico Lda, Portugal - help@esimpass.com
