The Public Utilities Regulatory Authority (Pura) of The Gambia, in partnership with Liberia Telecommunications Authority (LTA) and the National Communications Authority (NatCA) of Sierra Leone, has established a free-roaming agreement to eliminate cross-border telecom charges and enhance regional connectivity. The agreement, which aligns with Ecowas regulations, will be implemented in phases starting from 2nd May, 2025, allowing mobile users across The Gambia, Liberia, and Sierra Leone to communicate without incurring roaming fees. This initiative is part of a broader effort to foster economic growth and seamless communication for the region's 16 million residents.
