History
Algeria introduced an eight-digit national significant number for fixed and mobile subscribers in December 2000. In February 2008, ARPCE expanded mobile, value-added, VSAT and non-geographic VoIP formats to ten domestic digits. Geographic fixed-line numbers remained at nine domestic digits because of technical constraints in the fixed-network migration. The current ARPCE numbering overview preserves this distinction, while the regulator-published Algérie Télécom catalogue provides the detailed OAB-to-wilaya table used here.
Code 26 is divided between number blocks assigned to Bouira and Tizi Ouzou.

Network interpretation
Largest Telephone Carriers
Current operator and market-share data are dynamic. This page avoids assigning a specific number to a carrier from its area code alone.
Landline
Area code 026 is presented as a geographic fixed-line identifier. Consult Postal and Electronic Communications Regulatory Authority (ARPCE) for current allocation or licensing information.
Wireless
Wireless numbers commonly use separate ranges. Number portability prevents reliable current-carrier identification from a prefix alone.
