About
The Mobile Data Affordability Index reveals the affordability of mobile data across 226 countries around the world.
The interactive infographic illustrates the percentage of an average daily income required to purchase 1GB of mobile data in each country.
By default, results are ordered by affordability from high to low. Additional filters allow sorting by affordability from low to high, as well as by country in alphabetical order. Results can further be refined by region or by searching for specific countries by name.
Clicking on a country from the list or world map will display additional information, including the average yearly, monthly, and daily income of its citizens. Furthermore, it also reveals what percentage of an average monthly income is needed to purchase 10GB of mobile data, which is approximately the current global average for mobile data consumption.

Methodology
To compile the Mobile Data Affordability Index, we sourced data on the average cost of 1GB mobile data from cable.co.uk, which analysed over 200 countries between 5 July 2023 and 6 September 2023. This dataset was last updated on 26 September 2023.
We then gathered data on average yearly incomes from a variety of sources, including reliable international databases and local regulatory authorities. Any amounts represented in currencies other than USD are converted to USD for standardisation - this eliminates the fluctuations and variations associated with local currencies and exchange rates, and allows for fairer comparison between countries in vastly different economic conditions.
The affordability of mobile data in each country is measured by the proportion of an average daily income that is required to purchase 1GB of mobile data, represented as a percentage. The average daily income is calculated by dividing the average annual income by 365 days.
The primary output of our research is an index that ranks countries based on the affordability of mobile data. Countries are sorted in descending order based on this score, from the least affordable (highest percentage of income required) to the most affordable (lowest percentage of income required).

Most Affordable: Israel
Israel is the most affordable country for mobile data, where an average citizen spends only 0.01% of their daily income to purchase 1GB of mobile data. This calculation is based on an average daily income of $151.07 and a minimal average cost of $0.02 for 1GB of mobile data.
Furthermore, purchasing 10GB of mobile data costs an average Israeli just $0.20. When this is rounded, it accounts for 0% of the average monthly income of $4,595.00, effectively making mobile data almost free in the Middle Eastern country.
The Israeli government has implemented regulations that encourage competition and prevent monopolistic practices in the telecommunication market. These regulations include policies that facilitate easier market entry for new companies and mandate fair pricing.
Cellular companies are required to share their infrastructure with smaller networks. As a result, Israel has many MVNOs (Mobile virtual network operators), with plenty of competition and choice for consumers, ensuring that mobile data remains affordable for all.
Coupled with a high average income, it’s therefore no surprise that Israel is the most affordable country in the world for mobile data.
Cheapest: Israel
In addition to being the most affordable, Israel is also the least expensive country in the world for mobile data, with an average cost of just $0.02 per 1GB.
Following closely in joint second place is Italy and Fiji, where 1GB of mobile data costs just $0.09. However, it should be noted that despite the low cost, Fiji is only the 14th most affordable country for mobile data. This is because an average daily income is just $16.45 in the Oceanian country.
Least affordable: South Sudan
South Sudan ranks as the least affordable country globally for mobile data, primarily due to its low average income paired with exorbitantly high mobile data costs.
An average citizen of South Sudan must spend an astounding 2154.55% of their daily income to purchase just 1GB of mobile data, or 709.16% of their monthly income to buy 10GB. With an average daily income of a mere $1.10 and the prohibitive price of $23.70 per 1GB, accessing the internet is beyond the reach of most South Sudanese. This economic barrier contributes significantly to South Sudan being one of the least internet-connected nations worldwide.
South Sudan has been marred by ongoing conflicts and economic instability, which has disrupted infrastructure development and maintenance - both crucial for affordable and accessible mobile networks in the African country.
Most expensive: Zimbabwe
Zimbabwe is the most expensive country in the world for mobile data, and the 2nd least affordable.
The average cost of 1GB mobile data is an outstanding $43.75. This requires an average citizen to spend 934.83% of their daily income of $4.68, making Zimbabwe the 2nd least affordable country in the world for mobile data.
However, unlike South Sudan, Zimbabwe has experienced relative peace in recent years, despite the shadow of historical turmoil. The high cost of mobile data can be primarily attributed to economic instability, which has led to hyperinflation. This inflation has made the importation of technology for mobile infrastructure prohibitively expensive.
The Falkland Islands is the 2nd most expensive country in the world for mobile data, with an average cost of $40.58 for 1GB. The isolation of the islands poses significant logistical challenges to set up and maintain infrastructure for cellular networks.
In addition, with only a population of around 3,650 spread across a large area, the small market size makes it difficult to achieve economies of scale - typically, people in more densely populated countries and regions have access to cheaper mobile data.
