Telecom in Andorra

The Andorran telecom monopoly

Telecom in Andorra

Since 1975, the Servicio de Telecomunicaciones de Andorra (now Andorra Telecom) has been the public operator in charge of all management, and implementation of telecommunication services in Andorra.

Andorran services for internet and telephone are considerably more expensive than in other European countries, due to the monopoly that Andorra Telecom has in the market. Due to the fact that Andorra does not belong to the EU, European regulations do not apply to Andorra Telecom.

As mentioned earlier, Andorra Telecom is the exclusive telecommunication (internet, telephone, TV) provider of the country. Its website  is available in English, Spanish and Catalan. Most of the services provided are though fibre optic cables. When deciding to receive internet services, you can also choose to receive a landline telephone and television.
