The new tender covers 700,000 pre-numbered GSM/UMTS/LTE SIM cards and 154,225 blank cards to be customized to meet the operator’s commercial needs. First Tender for 2.3 Million SIM Cards Declared UnsuccessfulThe new tender replaces an earlier procurement rather than adding to it. Camtel initially launched a tender on March 24, 2026, for 2,300,600 SIM cards, including 1.85 million pre-numbered cards and 450,600 blank cards. Camtel had about 1.23 million active mobile subscriptions, compared with nearly 14 million for Orange and 12.8 million for MTN. These figures refer to active subscriptions or SIM cards rather than individual customers, as one person may hold several SIM cards.
