Do I need to register an Algerian SIM in person?

Yes. Under a February 2026 decision of the regulator, ARPCE, the buyer must be present with official ID, and foreigners must be legally in the country.

Does my European phone plan work in Algeria?

Algeria is outside EU roaming, so your operator's international rates apply. Check its Algeria pass or use an eSIM.
