Check device compatibilityWestern Sahara's mobile network includes fixed and mobile telephones, with Morocco claiming the territory and administering it through Moroccan institutions. The Polisario Front, which seeks independence for the territory, operates its own radio and television services, including RASD TV.
The mobile network in Western Sahara is sparse and limited, tied into Morocco's system by microwave radio relay, tropospheric scatter, and satellite. There are no specific statistics available for mobile cellular usage in Western Sahara, as the territory's telecommunications data is often reported in conjunction with Morocco due to the ongoing dispute over sovereignty.
Historically, the development of mobile networks in Western Sahara has been influenced by Morocco's control over the majority of the territory. The first radio services were established by Morocco's state broadcaster, SNRT, and the Polisario-backed medium wave and shortwave radio stations began operating in 2008. The use of mobile phones and other telecommunications services is subject to Moroccan laws and regulations, which have implications for civil liberties and political expression in the territory.
