Liberia Suspends Surcharges on International Calls with Sierra Leone and The Gambia
Monday, 24 March 2025 13:28
Surcharges on calls between Liberia and Sierra Leone will be removed on May 2, 2025, while those on calls between Liberia and The Gambia will be eliminated on July 1, 2025. The Liberia Telecommunications Authority (LTA) announced on March 20. This move aligns with ECOWAS Regulation C/REG 21/12/17, promoting free roaming within the West African region.
The decision follows the signing of the Memoranda of Understanding (MOUs) between the LTA, Sierra Leone’s National Communications Authority (NatCA), and The Gambia’s Public Utility Regulatory Authority (PURA) in January 2025.
The move will enable Citizens and businesses to enjoy reduced international call charges. It will also boost regional integration and strengthen trade, communication, and mobility within ECOWAS.
