Afghanistan

+93 · 6 operators

Afghanistan has around 18 million mobile subscribers across five operators: Roshan (founded 2003 by the Aga Khan Fund, market leader at 35-45%), Etisalat Afghanistan (UAE e& subsidiary, entered 2007, 25-30%, first to introduce eSIM), Afghan Wireless / AWCC (founded 1998, the oldest local operator with widest rural coverage), ATOMA (rebranded from MTN Afghanistan in April 2025 after M1 Group acquisition), and Salaam (mobile brand of state-owned Afghan Telecom). Prepaid plans dominate, and USSD is the primary tool for recharge, balance enquiries, and data bundle subscriptions, especially important given the scarcity of fixed broadband.
