Ooredoo Algerie

What Ooredoo Algerie does

Ooredoo Algerie (legal name: SPA Wataniya Télécom Algérie) is one of Algeria's largest mobile network operators, founded in August 2004 and headquartered in Chéraga, Algiers. The company operates 4G LTE and nationwide 5G mobile networks reaching 99% of the Algerian population, and was the first operator in the country to achieve nationwide 5G coverage across all 58 wilayas within one year of receiving a 5G license in December 2025. It employs approximately 2,500 people and distributes services through more than 250 retail points (Espaces Ooredoo, City Shop Ooredoo, Espace Services Ooredoo) in addition to digital channels including the My Ooredoo self-care app, eStorm payment platform, and direct enterprise sales via the Ooredoo Business division.

The commercial portfolio is anchored by the Ooredoo 500 prepaid offering and Ooredoo POP postpaid plan, alongside Ooredoo Box, Ooredoo Internet, and Sahla Box home internet services, plus a digital ecosystem including TOD streaming, Anazik music, Anaflix video, Blacknut gaming, and Bitdefender security. Pricing combines subscription-based postpaid plans (e.g., monthly bundles at 1000 DA with 15GB and voice), usage-based prepaid data packages (50 DA for 50MB up to 1500 DA for 40GB), one-time device sales, and enterprise contracts delivered through field sales. The technology stack includes 5G/4G/3G radio access, AI-driven predictive analytics from Huawei, AWS, and Nokia for self-healing networks, and ISO/IEC 27001-certified security operations; NEC Corporation provides next-generation firewalls for enterprise customers. Parent company Ooredoo Group (Qatar) provides group-level strategic backing and access to ecosystem partnerships (Zain Group/TASC Towers tower JV, NVIDIA for AI infrastructure).

Revenue is generated primarily through recurring mobile subscriptions, usage-based data plans, enterprise networking contracts, digital content subscriptions, and hardware sales. Customer concentration sits firmly in the mass-market consumer segment (prepaid and postpaid individuals, youth/digital natives), with a complementary enterprise segment served by Ooredoo Business. Brand presence is reinforced through sports, cultural, and tech event sponsorship (ICT Africa Summit, Digital African Summit, Games & Comic Con Dzaïr) and CSR programs in literacy (IQRAA, Media Star), disability inclusion (FAPH/SAASEH), healthcare (clinics, WINNELKA), environmental cleanup (ANV/Bladna Dima Ndhifa), and entrepreneurship (tStart, Machrou3i). The company has been led by Director General Roni Tohme since 2023 and is certified to ISO 9001 (quality) and ISO/IEC 27001 (information security) standards.
