Why use an eSIM in Algeria

Cheaper than roaming
Carrier roaming bills a daily fee whether you use data or not. A prepaid plan bills once, upfront.
Working the moment you land
No hunting for a shop, no passport registration, no airport queue at midnight.
Your number stays yours
Dual SIM keeps calls, texts, and WhatsApp on your home line while data rides on Jelly.

Algeria eSIM questions

When does my Algeria plan start counting?

Validity starts when the eSIM first connects to a network in Algeria, not when you buy it. Installing early costs you nothing.

Can I make calls in Algeria?

Jelly plans are data plans. Calls work over WhatsApp, FaceTime, or any app you already use, and your home number stays reachable on your other SIM.

Can I tether a laptop in Algeria?

Yes on most compatible phones. Tethering uses data quickly, so pick a larger plan if a laptop is coming with you.

What if I run out of data in Algeria?

Top up from your dashboard. The top up applies to the eSIM already installed, so there is nothing new to scan.
