The Gambia, Sierra Leone, and Liberia have signed a historic agreement to implement free roaming, aiming to lower mobile costs for travelers and improve regional connectivity. The deal, which aligns with ECOWAS regulations, was formalized by regulators from each country's telecommunications authority and is expected to boost trade, tourism, and business operations. The initiative is part of a broader effort to expand free-roaming agreements across all ECOWAS member states, potentially contributing to Africa's projected $180 billion digital economy by 2025.
