GSM Africa refers to the use and implementation of the Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) standard for mobile communications in Africa. This term is used to describe the mobile network operators and services that provide GSM-based mobile communication services in Africa.

GSM technology has played a significant role in increasing access to mobile communication services in Africa, especially in rural areas where fixed-line telecommunications infrastructure is limited. The widespread adoption of GSM in Africa has also contributed to economic growth and improved access to healthcare, education, and financial services.

In Africa, GSM is the most widely used standard for mobile communications and is supported by a large number of mobile network operators. These operators provide a range of services, including voice and text messaging, mobile internet access, and multimedia services, to consumers and businesses across the region.

GSM technology continues to evolve and expand in Africa, with the introduction of advanced features and services, such as high-speed mobile internet and mobile banking. The continued growth of GSM in Africa is expected to bring even greater benefits to consumers and businesses in the region in the years to come.
