Mobile coverage and networks in Mali
Mali has three mobile operators, with Orange Mali offering the best nationwide 2G/3G/4G coverage, Malitel (Moov Africa) second, and Telecel limited mainly to southern cities. 4G is available in Bamako and major towns but coverage thins sharply in northern and Sahelian areas, and there is no commercial 5G.
