Coverage and networks

The Gambia has four mobile operators: Africell, QCell, Comium and the state company Gamcel. Africell is the market leader with the broadest coverage, around 93 percent of the territory, and offers 2G, 3G and 4G. QCell has fast networks but more limited coverage. In the region around Banjul and the tourist coastal strip, coverage is best, while Comium and Gamcel are mainly active around Banjul. Networks: Africell, QCell, Comium.

Choose a plan with coverage on the Africell network, because it offers by far the broadest 4G coverage in The Gambia.

The Gambia lies outside the EU, so standard EU roaming does not apply here.
