Our verdict

Djezzy suits anyone in Algeria who wants a network's own network and a low entry price without a long commitment. Plans start at DZD 100, sim only is available, and data rollover is included, so the offer holds up at renewal.

Core features

Djezzy sells sim only plans, so you bring your own handset and pay for the line. The network is Djezzy's own rather than a partner's, which means the coverage figure comes straight from the operator. That coverage stands at 95%. You also get 5G on the network. Data rollover is one of the listed features, so data you do not use in a period can carry into the next one instead of disappearing. In practice, rollover is the feature that changes a monthly bill, because heavy users on a fixed allowance otherwise pay twice: once for the plan and again for the extra data. Djezzy's Legend plans are built around large allowances, so rollover matters most on the bigger ones. Support runs on email, chat and phone, which covers the three routes most people try in order: a call, a message and an email.

The company behind it

Djezzy is operated by Optimum Telecom Algerie S.P.A, which lists its registered country as DZ. The company has been trading since 2001, so this is a long established operator rather than a recent reseller. That matters for two reasons. First, a network runs its own spectrum, so coverage and capacity decisions sit with the same company that sells you the plan. Second, a long operating history usually means the support channels are actually staffed, and here support runs on email, chat and phone. Because Djezzy is a network operator, prices are set in a single currency in its home market, which keeps the entry price easy to compare with the plan prices listed alongside it.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a Djezzy sim only plan cost?+

Plans start at DZD 100. The reference plan prices run higher for the larger Legend allowances, so the cheapest line is a small daily data pack while the bigger allowances are billed monthly. Every price on Djezzy is listed in the same currency, which makes the tiers easy to compare.

Do I have to sign a long contract with Djezzy?+

Djezzy lists both contract and prepaid billing, and plan terms run 1, 12 and 24. That means you can take a short term rather than a long one if you want to keep the option open. The reference plan prices are shown on a monthly basis, so the monthly figure is the one to budget against.

What happens to data I do not use?+

Data rollover is one of Djezzy's listed features, so unused data carries into the next period. This is the most useful part of the offer on the larger Legend allowances, where a light month leaves a lot on the table. It also softens the cost of a month when your usage spikes slightly past the allowance.

Does Djezzy work outside Algeria?+

Djezzy operates in Algeria, so it is a single market network. There is no Djezzy service outside Algeria. For trips elsewhere, the roaming arrangement matters: EU roaming is paid here, so using the line in Europe adds cost rather than being included.

Is this a network or a reseller?+

Djezzy sells as a network operator, not a reseller, and it is run by Optimum Telecom Algerie S.P.A. That means the network and the plan come from the same company, which is why coverage of 95% is stated by the operator itself. It has traded since 2001.

Can I contact Djezzy support?+

Support runs on email, chat and phone. That gives you a phone line, live chat and email from the same company that runs the network. Having all three is useful when a line needs activating or a data allowance needs checking, since you are not routing a problem through a third party.

Does Djezzy offer 5G?+

Djezzy lists 5G as one of its network features. On a 5G area you should see better speeds on the same plan, and the sim only format means you can pair a 5G handset with a data only line. The line itself is the same whichever generation of network your device picks up.

What plan types are available?+

Djezzy offers sim only plans, so you supply the handset and the line carries data. Billing runs on contract and prepaid, giving you the choice of a contract or a prepaid top-up. Sim only keeps the monthly cost focused on data rather than bundling a handset and a call plan you may not need.
