Algeria's mobile network has undergone significant development over the years. Initially, the country's mobile network was based on 2G technology, which was introduced in the late 1990s. This was followed by the introduction of 3G technology in the early 2000s, which improved data speeds and enabled the use of mobile broadband.

In recent years, Algeria has transitioned to 4G LTE technology, with the launch of LTE networks starting in 2014. This transition has significantly enhanced mobile data speeds and capacity, supporting the growing demand for mobile internet services. As of February 2022, mobile connections in Algeria were equivalent to 108.15 percent of the total population, indicating high mobile adoption rates.

The main operators in Algeria's mobile sector are Mobilis, Djezzy, and Ooredoo Algeria. These operators have been competing fiercely, which has led to a price battle affecting their revenue. Despite these challenges, the mobile sector continues to play a crucial role in Algeria's digital transformation, with ongoing investments aimed at improving network quality and capacity.
