Morocco – also known as Al Maghreb, is known for its culture, deserts & beaches.
The country is also home to ski resorts… which may not be the first thing you think of when you think about Morocco.
At least… I did not 😳.
Together with Algeria, whom Morocco has a colorful relationship with, Morocco has the largest Berber community.
But what can you do in Morocco? A lot.
You should undoubtedly visit the Jardin Majorelle-Yves Saint Laurent Mansion garden.
Do not forget about Bahia Palace.
And, of course, you can enjoy many of the Moroccan beaches, such as Plage d'Agadir.
You will certainly want to share your experiences online.
Before doing so, be aware that international roaming can be expensive.
You are better off using local SIM cards, like a Moroccan one, to enjoy local rates – almost always cheaper than international roaming.
But how much do SIM cards cost in Morocco?
You can get a Moroccan SIM card for 20 MAD (1.95 USD) or 50 MAD (4.90 USD) from Inwi or 30 MAD (2.95 USD) from Maroc Telecom and Orange in their stores. SIM cards are also sold at various airports, including Agadir – Al Massira Airport (AGA), Casablanca-Mohammed V International Airport (CMN) & Marrakesh Menara Airport (RAK).
Those are some low prices!
If you have been to Northern Africa before, you know that mobile data is cheap. If you have not been to this region or did not know about this yet – now you know.
As always, there are quite some things to know before getting a Moroccan SIM card. So…
In this guide, I will go over everything you need to know about buying a SIM card in Morocco. Let's go.

Can You Buy a SIM Card in Morocco?
Anyone living or visiting Morocco can buy a Moroccan SIM card without restrictions.
You do have to comply with the SIM card registration regulations.
- Find out which countries have SIM card registration regulations and what is required from you (lookup tool)
Moreover, you need a phone that supports the frequencies used in the country (preferably all of them to have the most optimal experience while in Morocco).
Furthermore, you need to have a SIM-lock-free device.
Where Can You Buy a SIM Card in Morocco?
You can get a Moroccan SIM card in Maroc Telecom, Orange & Inwi stores. Resellers, like tobacco stores, also sell SIM cards. They are also sold at Agadir – Al Massira Airport (AGA), Casablanca-Mohammed V International Airport (CMN) & Marrakesh Menara Airport (RAK).
You can expect to pay the the following for Moroccan SIM cards:
- Maroc Telecom: 30 MAD
- Orange Morocco: 30 MAD
- Inwi: 20 MAD & 50 MAD
For up-to-date MAD:your currency (let's say EUR) exchange rates, use the Wise Currency Converter tool.
- Find out how much SIM cards cost in every country, including data-only SIM cards and tourist SIM cards, offered by each mobile operator + information about starter benefits (lookup tool)
Can You Use Your Phone in Morocco?
Morocco uses GSM technology for mobile communications. CDMA phones will not work in Morocco. If your phone has a SIM card slot, then it supports GSMA (99% of the phones do support GSM nowadays).
Traditional European frequencies are used in Morocco, which are mostly used in ITU Regions 1 and 3 (Africa, Asia (including the Middle East), Europe & Oceania).
The Americas (North-, Central– & South America + the Caribbean – ITU Region 2) use American frequencies, which differ from the European ones.
If you bought your phone in Africa, Asia, Europe, or Oceania (ITU Regions 1 and 3), you should not experience any issues with using your phone in Morocco.
If you purchased your phone in the Americas (ITU Region 2) and have a low/medium-end device (without Tri-Band or Quad-Band) support, then there is a possibility you cannot use your phone when in Morocco or can only use slower networks (3G or 2G).
If you have a medium/high-end device with Tri-Band or Quad-Band support, you can use your phone in Morocco (to some extent) – also on 4G/LTE.
Mobile Operators, Networks & Frequencies in Morocco
Morocco has three mobile operators offering prepaid services easily accessible to travelers:
- Maroc Telecom
- Orange Morocco
- Inwi
The following frequencies are used in Morocco:
- 2G: 900 MHz
- 3G: 900 MHz & 2100 MHz
- 4G/LTE: 800 MHz (Band 20), 1800 MHz (Band 3) & 2600 MHz (Band 7)
You can learn more about frequencies in the video below.
To check whether your phone will work in Morocco, check out this page by Kimovil or this one by Will My Phone Work (outdated, unfortunately, but extremely user-friendly – useful for phones launched in or before 2019. It does not check for 5G NR compatibility).
Again, make sure your phone is unlocked. Otherwise, you will not be able to use any SIM card except the one from your home operator (meaning you have to roam internationally or buy another unlocked phone that does support the frequencies listed above).
If you want to learn how international roaming works, this guide explains it in-depth. If you wonder why it is often so expensive to roam, this article explains the hidden reason they do not want you to know.
A Note about Coverage in Western Sahara
Morocco claims the territory of Western Sahara. However, it is regarded as a disputed territory by many.
Nevertheless, the Moroccan operators do provide coverage in Western Sahara.
However, as Western Sahara is sparsely populated, mobile coverage is sparse too.
The larger cities like Laayoune, Dakhla & Paayoune Plage have good coverage.
Some smaller cities, towns, and villages may have coverage, but it will be on 3G or 2G.
Speeds will be much slower in Western Sahara than in mainland Morocco.
So any SIM card mentioned in this guide can be used in Western Sahara as if you were in Morocco.
VoLTE & VoWiFi in Morocco
VoLTE (Voice over LTE (4G) – also known as HD Voice) is not available in Morocco – the same counts for VoWiFi (Voice over WiFi – also known as WiFi calling).
This means that your phone will downgrade to 2G or 3G when making a call in Morocco (unlike mobile operators that do support VoLTE – then you can still use 4G/LTE while calling).
VoWiFi is, as the name implies, calling on a WiFi connection as opposed to on a cellular network.
5G NR in Morocco
5G NR is not available in Morocco as of 2022, and the Moroccan government has not made any indications of when they will auction 5G NR licenses. However, both Maroc Telecom and Inwi held 5G NR trials in the past.
Best SIM Card in Morocco
If you want to buy the best SIM card in Morocco, I recommend going with Maroc Telecom or Inwi. Maroc Telecom has the best coverage and the fastest speeds. Inwi's network and speed performance are not bad either, and it is, on average, cheaper than Maroc Telecom.
Best eSIM in Morocco
Orange Morocco offers eSIMs to prepaid customers.
While Maroc Telecom also has eSIMs, they are (currently) not offered to prepaid customers (Jawal).
Note that the Moroccan mobile operators require your identification (passport) for eSIMs and physical SIM cards (will be discussed later).
However, you can also get a travel eSIM from various eSIM providers.
The list below is not exhaustive – many more providers have eSIMs for Morocco.
But these are the ones I have tried and had pleasant experiences with.
Moreover, they are reasonably priced, which I find very important (you will not see me recommending an eSIM I would not buy myself).
So here are the three best eSIMs for Morocco:
- Airalo's Morocco Choukran eSIM with one 1 GB option (cheapest)
- Holafly Morocco eSIM with unlimited data for 5 to 20 days (unlimited data eSIMs – use code PHONETRAVELWIZ for 5% off)
- Airalo Discover(+) eSIM (formerly Discover Global) with 12 choices between 1 GB and 20 GB (extensive global coverage (130+ countries) at attractive prices) + ability to make and receive calls & send and receive SMS (new) – read my ongoing Airalo Discover(+) (Global) eSIM review too!
Because this is the SIM card buying guide for Morocco, I will not spend too much time about travel eSIMs here and throughout this guide (but I will still do here and there).
If you want to learn more about the best eSIMs for Morocco, you better check out my Morocco eSIM buying guide.
It is as helpful and comprehensive as this guide but about eSIMs instead 😜.
SIM Card Registration in Morocco
SIM card registration, with the use of your passport information, is mandatory in Morocco. This will be done at the point of sale. Moreover, photos of you will be taken as part of the registration process.

Morocco Mobile Speeds, Mobile Internet Prices & Insights
Morocco is one of the more affordable travel destinations in Africa.
And the same can be said for mobile data in the country.
The average price for 1 GB of data in Morocco is 7.07 MAD (0.69 USD), way below the African average of 4.10 USD. The world average is 3.12 USD.
In fact, Morocco is the country with the 5th lowest mobile data rates in Africa, behind Algeria, Libya, Ghana & Somalia – in that order (of the 56 countries).
The Moroccan mobile operators are not shy of offering 10 GB of data for just 9.50 USD (which may sound expensive, but that is quite cheap for African nations).
Morocco is one of the 14 countries where the average cost of 1 GB of data is below 1 USD.
So the cost of mobile data is low in Morocco – does that mean you have to deal with slow speeds?
Not really, to be honest.
Morocco's median mobile download speed is around 31 Mbps.
For reference, the global median download speed is around 31 Mbps at the moment.
Currently, only South Africa (33.08 Mbps) and Togo (33.34 Mbps) have faster median download speeds in all of Africa.
Morocco's African neighbors, Algeria (13.15 Mbps) and Mauritania (N/A), stand no change.
Surprisingly, even Spain (29.67 Mbps), north of Morocco, has a slower median download speed than Morocco.
But Portugal (55.10 Mbps) sweeps the floor with Morocco 🧹.
Even then, Morocco's mobile download speeds have increased by 16.5% year on year.
Okay, now it is time to know which mobile operator is the fastest in Morocco.
That would be Maroc Telecom, with a speed score of 67.26. Followed by Inwi (39.38) and Orange Morocco (30.11).
So what about coverage? Which mobile operator has the best coverage?
While all mobile operators have a general availability of more than 94% according to Opensignal (which includes 2G and 3G reception), Maroc Telecom has the best 4G/LTE coverage experience (70 on a 10-point scale), followed by Inwi (5.7) and Orange (4.9).
So what about overall network performance by the Moroccan mobile operators?
Maroc Telecom is the winner of the Morocco Mobile Experience Awards of September 2022.
Basically, you cannot go wrong with Maroc Telecom.
With low SIM card prices, extensive nationwide coverage (except for deserts), decent mobile download speeds, and incredibly low mobile data rates, you should have a good network experience in Morocco.
Currency in Morocco
Morocco uses the Morrocan Dirham with the symbol MAD (which will be used throughout this guide).
However, prices are often listed as just Dh. For example, 25 MAD = 25 Dh.
For reference, below are some exchange rates between MAD and USD (US Dollars):
- 1 MAD = 0.095 USD
- 10 MAD = 0.95 USD
- 100 MAD = 9.80 USD
- 1000 MAD = 97.75 USD
For up-to-date MAD:your currency (let's say EUR – Euro) exchange rates, use the Wise Currency Converter tool.
If your credit/debit card charges you foreign exchange fees, get yourself a Wise Borderless Account and Debit Card.
Their fees are MUCH lower than banks and credit card companies charge you (and Wise is transparent about their fees, unlike banks).
I have saved literal THOUSANDS of Australian Dollars and Euros, my main currencies, when using Wise abroad when traveling compared to my debit and credit cards.
Moroccan Prepaid SIM Cards
Below, I will guide you through Maroc Telecom, Orange Morocco & Inwi, and go through:
- Background information
- Mobile coverage
- SIM card types, prices, and availability
- Recharge/top-up information
- Combo plans, data plans, and special packs (such as social media packs)
With that being said, let’s see what Morocco has to offer to us.
Maroc Telecom
Maroc Telecom (اتصالات المغرب), also known as Ittisalat Al Maghrib (IAM), is the largest mobile operator in Morocco.
It is the best Moroccan mobile operator in all aspects – at least, that is according to Opensignal.
Maroc Telecom's prepaid brand is called Jawal, which is why you will see me refer to both brands as Maroc Telecom/Jawal.
Maroc Telecom is owned by the Morrocan government and Etisalat from the United Arab Emirates.
Moreover, Maroc Telecom, as a company, is active in various other French-speaking African nations as Moov.
Maroc Telecom uses the following frequencies:
- 2G: 900 MHz & 1800 MHz
- 3G: 2100 MHz
- 4G/LTE: 800 MHz (Band 20), 1800 MHz (Band 3), 2100 MHz (Band 1) & 2600 MHz (Band 7)
- 5G NR: N/A – not announced yet
- VoLTE: No
- VoWiFi: No
This is what you will learn about Maroc Telecom:
* Coverage
* How to Get a Maroc Telecom SIM Card & SIM Card Price
* Topping Up Options & Methods + Balance Check
* Plans & Packages
* APN/Internet Settings
Coverage – Maroc Telecom
Maroc Telecom has the best coverage in Morocco.
This was also confirmed by Opensignal.
Below is Maroc Telecom's coverage map produced by Speedtest:
SIM Card Price – Maroc Telecom
You can get a Maroc Telecom SIM card, called Jawal, for 30 MAD in Maroc Telecom stores. SIM cards are also sold, or often given away for free, at Casablanca-Mohammed V International Airport (CMN).
Dial #111# to access the Maroc Telecom/Jawal menu.
- Find out how much SIM cards cost in every country, including data-only SIM cards and tourist SIM cards, offered by each mobile operator + information about starter benefits (lookup tool)
While Maroc Telecom does have eSIMs, they are (currently) not offered to prepaid customers (Jawal).
You may want to get a travel eSIM for Morocco, which can be cheaper than getting a SIM card from Maroc Telecom (in some cases).
Especially when getting an eSIM covering popular African destinations if you do not stay in just Morocco or a global eSIM valid for up to a year if you want one eSIM to work practically worldwide.
My Morocco eSIM buying guide analyzes various eSIM options of eSIM providers I have tested extensively worldwide.
Here is a quick introduction to them:
- Airalo: Choukran (Morocco only), Discover+ (130 countries worldwide + call and text feature) – use code DEC15 (15% off – first-time users only) or DEC10 (10% off)
- Alosim: Morocco – use code PTW (5% off – no limits)
- Holafly: Morocco – these eSIMs have unlimited data – use code PHONETRAVELWIZ (5% off – no limits)
- Nomad: Morocco, Global (up to 139 countries) – use code ADU123 (3 USD off – first-time users only)
For more information, such as the prices and data allowances, check out my Morocco eSIM buying guide.
But let's continue with Maroc Telecom for now.
Be aware that there is no VoLTE or VoWiFi with Maroc Telecom.
Top-Up, Recharge & Balance Check – Maroc Telecom
Maroc Telecom/Jawal top-up vouchers are sold in Maroc Telecom stores, grocery stores, corner shops & electronics shops throughout Morocco.
The following (online) top-up options are available:
- 10 MAD
- 20 MAD
- 30 MAD
- 50 MAD
- 100 MAD
- 200 MAD
To top up your Maroc Telecom SIM card, text the VoucherCode to 555, dial #555#VoucherCode#, or dial #111# and follow the instructions.
For example, if your voucher code is 123456, you would text 123456 to 555 or dial #555#123456#.
You can also tell the salesperson how much credit you want, your phone number, pay, and they will top up your SIM card with the POS system.
You can also recharge online with (international) debit and credit cards.
Dial #580# to check your Maroc Telecom balance.
The same can be done by calling 580 or sending a blank SMS (or whatever, like a dot, if your phone does not allow you to send a blank SMS) to 580.
However, you will be charged 1 MAD per inquiry when you do so.
You can also top up and check your balance for free on the Mon Escape MT (My Escape MT) app (Android/iOS).

Inwi (formerly Wana)
Inwi, formerly Wana, is the smallest mobile operator in Morocco.
However, it may be the most innovative because it was the first operator to offer VoLTE (Voice over LTE/HD Calling) in Morocco.
Inwi uses the following frequencies:

Coverage – Inwi (formerly Wana)
Inwi has extensive coverage throughout Morocco.
This was also confirmed by Opensignal.
Below is Inwi's coverage map produced by Speedtest:

SIM Card Price – Inwi (formerly Wana)
You can get an Inwi SIM card for free in Inwi stores. SIM cards are also sold, or often given away for free, at Agadir – Al Massira Airport (AGA), Casablanca-Mohammed V International Airport (CMN) & Marrakesh Menara Airport (RAK).
Dial #120# to access the Inwi menu.
- Find out how much SIM cards cost in every country, including data-only SIM cards and tourist SIM cards, offered by each mobile operator + information about starter benefits (lookup tool)
Iniw has no eSIMs – not even for prepaid customers.
You can consider getting a travel eSIM for Morocco, which can, in specific scenarios, be cheaper than getting a SIM card from Iniw.
Especially if you get an Africa eSIM (for when you visit at least two or more supported African countries) or a global eSIM (for frequent travelers visiting multiple continents).
In my Morocco eSIM buying guide, I analyze various eSIM options of eSIM providers I have tested extensively worldwide.
But I will introduce them here quickly:
- Airalo: Choukran (Morocco only), Discover+ (130 countries worldwide + up to 200 worldwide minutes & 200 worldwide SMS) – use code DEC15 (15% off – first-time users only) or DEC10 (10% off)
- Alosim: Morocco – use code PTW (5% off – no limits)
- Holafly: Morocco – include unlimited data – use code PHONETRAVELWIZ (5% off – no limits)
- Nomad: Morocco, Global (109 or 139 countries, depending on the variant) – use code ADU123 (3 USD off – first-time users only)
Once again, check out my Morocco eSIM buying guide to learn more about these eSIM options.
For now, I will continue with Inwi.
Be aware that there is no VoLTE or VoWiFi with Inwi.
Top-Up, Recharge & Balance Check – Inwi (formerly Wana)
Inwi top-up vouchers are sold in Inwi stores, grocery stores, corner shops & electronics shops throughout Morocco.
To top up your Inwi SIM card, dial *120# and follow the instructions.
You can also tell the salesperson how much credit you want, your phone number, pay, and they will top up your SIM card with the POS system.
You can also recharge online with (international) debit and credit cards.
Dial *120*20# to check your Inwi balance.
You can also top up and check your balance on the My Inwi app (Android/iOS).
