Algeria's number of fixed lines has been growing at an average of 9.1% in the last 5 years, to reach 3.2 million at the end of 2008. It is expected that the number of fixed lines with grow by an average of 5.0% over the next 5 years to reach 4.1 million subscribers at the end of 2013. Nevertheless, this growth trend will be highly dependent on the re-entry of a second fixed operator in the near future.

The sector has grown by an average rate of 100.9% over the least 5 years. By the end of 2008, there were 28.2 million mobile customers. Six months later, at the end of June 2009, the number of mobile subscribers was estimated to have grown by 4.9% to reach 29.6 million and a penetration of 82.8%.
