Basics

In the Republic of Guinea three networks are operating:

  • Orange Guinée 
  • MTN Guinée (formerly: Areeba)
  • Cellcom Guinée 

The debt-stricken incumbent fixed-line operator Sotelgui operated its Lagui mobile unit before it closed down in 2012. Sotelgui was declared bankrupt in 2013, and though there have been several announcements regarding its revival the government in late 2017 confirmed that there was no prospect of its return without a public private partnership to inject substantial cash and equip the company with skilled management.

The heavily indebted 4th mobile player Intercel was obliged to close down its network in late 2018 due to persistent service quality issues.

Orange is now the dominant provider with 60% of the market, while MTN retains 30% and Cellcom about 10%. 2G is on 900 MHz and 1800 MHz and 3G on 2100 MHz. 4G/LTE was started only by Orange so far in the capital of Conakry in 2019.

Currency is the Guinean franc (GNF). Calling code for Guinea is +224.

Orange Guinée
