Sudan

+249 · 3 operators

Sudan, located in northeast Africa with about 45 million people and Khartoum as the capital, has its mobile market led by Zain Sudan (largest, under Kuwait's Zain Group), MTN Sudan (under MTN Group), and state-owned Sudani. **Civil war broke out in April 2023**, damaging infrastructure in some regions, though operators broadly continue functioning. The country has 3G/4G networks with LTE covering major cities. USSD is the primary method for balance checks, data, roaming, and recharging, with Zain Cash and other mobile money services running on USSD entry points—a critical tool for population fund flows during wartime financial instability.
