This initiative comes after Ghana’s successful implementation of a similar agreement with Côte d’Ivoire in 2023.

During a press conference in Accra on Sunday, February 18, 2024, Minister Ursula Owusu-Ekuful, who also serves as the Member of Parliament for Ablekuma West, highlighted that Ghana and Cote D’Ivoire had become the first ECOWAS countries to enact the ECOWAS Free Roaming initiative back in June 2023.

Under the free roaming service, Ghanaian subscribers visiting Côte d’Ivoire will receive calls without incurring roaming fees and will be charged Côte d’Ivoire’s local rates when making calls to Ghana while in Côte d’Ivoire, and vice versa. Additionally, subscribers traveling between both countries will be exempted from international roaming charges.
