3G prepaid PAYG internet experience in Morocco

laptopnomad · 16-07-2010, 12:05

After nearly 3 months in Morocco, I can recommend Maroc Telecom's 3G prepaid Menara card.

€ 18,- / month for unlimited 3G access with reasonable performance and coverage. The network is a bit overbooked so it gets slow at peak hours - but overall it's price and performance is worth it.

The new INWI (former WANA) is trying to get a piece of the action also selling EVDO based USB modems. (no simcard required) A somewhat alien standard in a dominated UMTS/HSPA region since it can not be re-used in nearby Europe. For US travelers INWI might be an option - though coverage is limited to the bigger cities.

I will try it next time!

In the mean time I do not recommend Méditel for prepaid internet in Morocco. I was not able to activate the data service after visiting 3 different Méditel branches in Tanger (and each branch tried to activate it in a different way). I was told that my phone wasn't supported.
