These are based on 3G or 4G networks and will work where there is network coverage. Dongles rarely work in the most remote mountain areas, although you may still have a mobile phone signal. There are several providers to choose from, including Maroc Telecom, INWI, Meditel and Wana. Maroc Telecom generally offers the best coverage, but it is also the most expensive option.

For mobile phone services, you can buy a SIM card showing your passport or identification card. With mobile contract packages that require a one-month prepayment, many tourists find it more convenient to simply buy a recharge card when necessary.

The process is similar when buying a modem for a laptop. The initial cost to buy the dongle, complete with a mobile card, includes a month of Internet service. Users can then pay another month, buy top-up cards from a variety of outlets or pay online.
