Mobile subscribers in Morocco stood at 42.05 million by the end of June 2017, rising 0.64% compared to the first quarter of 2017, the National Telecommunications Regulation Agency (ANRT) announced.

The mobile phone network grew by posting slight increases, quarterly of 0.64% and yearly of 1.48%. By the end of June 2017, mobile subscriptions totaled 42.05 million, ANRT said in a statement on the figures of the telecom sector for the second quarter of 2017.

The second quarter of 2017 also confirms the evolution observed during the last quarters for the postpaid mobile network,  which reached almost 3.2 million subscribers, posting an annual growth of around 11%, the Agency said, noting a gradual change in the consumption mode of Moroccan customers, mainly due to the new low-price postpaid offers launched by the three mobile operators.

Prepaid mobile subscribers’ network reached 38.86 million and posted increases which are annual of 0.77% and quarterly of 0.44%, according to ANRT.
