Tunisia, located on the Mediterranean coast of North Africa with about 12 million people speaking Arabic and French, with Tunis as the capital, has its mobile market shared by Ooredoo Tunisia (formerly Tunisiana, renamed 2010, under Qatar's Ooredoo Group), Orange Tunisia (under Orange Group), and state-owned Tunisie Telecom, with nationwide 4G/LTE coverage and 5G in select cities. USSD in Tunisia is mainly used for basic functions such as balance checks (*100# or *123#), data plan subscription, and own number lookup. Compared to Sub-Saharan Africa, mobile money penetration is lower, with USSD's role in financial services limited and focused mainly on communication queries and plan management.
