All your Algeria eSIM questions answered.

An eSIM is a digital SIM profile installed on a compatible phone. It lets you use a mobile-data plan in Algeria without replacing your physical SIM card.

Open the SIM or mobile-data settings and look for “Add eSIM”. Support can vary by model, sales region and the network provider that sold the phone.

Selected plans include a new phone number, call minutes and texts. They are clearly marked on the page. Other plans are data only.

For messaging and maps, 1–3 GB may be enough. For social media, video or regular use, choose 5–20 GB. Unlimited-plan conditions vary: some run at 512 Kbps from activation. Check the conditions shown for each plan.

Yes. Mobilis 5G can be available when your phone supports it and 5G coverage is present at your location. Your phone may automatically switch to another mobile network depending on local coverage.

Install it before departure while you have stable Wi-Fi. Select it as your mobile-data line when you arrive.

In the SIM or mobile-data settings, choose “Add eSIM”, scan the QR code and follow the on-screen instructions. Keep the code private.

It may be required for a travel eSIM. Enable roaming on the eSIM only and make sure your main SIM is not selected for data if you want to avoid roaming charges.

Yes, on Dual SIM devices. Keep your main SIM for calls and texts and use the EasyAlgerie eSIM for mobile data.

Tethering depends on the plan and phone. When allowed, enable Personal Hotspot on the eSIM line in the network settings.

Check that the eSIM is enabled and selected for data, enable its roaming and turn flight mode on for ten seconds. Restart the phone if needed.

Configuration is normally automatic. If an APN is required, use only the value shown in your eSIM information.

Do not delete the eSIM for troubleshooting. Some profiles or QR codes can only be installed once. Contact support first.

Generation starts after payment confirmation. Once ready, the QR code, personal link and installation details are sent to the email address entered at checkout.

Open the personal link sent by email to view the QR code, activation code, installation details and status. No EasyAlgerie account is required.

The start of the validity period depends on the plan conditions. Check the information shown with your profile and avoid activating it too early.

Prepare the exact phone model, iOS or Android version, eSIM identifier and a screenshot of the network settings. This helps diagnosis.

Plans labelled “with a number” include a new phone number assigned after the eSIM is created. Data-only plans do not provide a number.

No. “Algeria eSIM” means the plan can be used in Algeria; it does not guarantee an Algerian country code. The exact number and code appear after creation.

The number appears under “My eSIMs” once payment is confirmed and the eSIM profile has been generated.

Open the Phone app, select the eSIM line before dialling and call within the minute allowance and supported destinations of the plan.

Choose the eSIM line as the sending line in the Messages app. Each sent text is deducted from the allowance shown with the plan.

Standard texts may work, but banks, platforms and other services decide which number types they accept. A verification code is therefore not guaranteed.

No. WhatsApp can keep using your usual number while connecting through the eSIM mobile data. Only change it in the app if you truly want to.

Yes, if your phone supports Dual SIM. Select the eSIM for the required data, calls or texts and keep data roaming off on your main SIM.

The number and phone services are tied to the plan and its validity. Do not treat it as a permanent line beyond the displayed validity.

It adds a phone number, call minutes and texts to the data allowance. If you only need internet and messaging apps, a data plan is usually a better fit.
