Mozambique Initiates National Roaming Pilot to Enhance Mobile Coverage
Mozambique's Communications Regulatory Authority (INCM) has launched a national roaming pilot program aimed at equalizing mobile coverage across the country. This initiative allows users of Tmcel, Vodacom Mozambique, and Movitel to access each other's networks in areas where their own provider's coverage is limited or unavailable. The pilot, which includes voice and SMS services but excludes mobile data, is being conducted in several regions including Quissico Sede and Ntemangau. Running until May 15, the program is part of a broader effort under the National Roaming Regulation in Telecommunications to eliminate 'shadow zones' where coverage is inconsistent. The INCM, along with the participating telecom companies, will focus on technical monitoring and ensuring service quality during this phase.
