Sonelgaz Bills: Gradual Adoption of BaridiMob in Béjaïa

In Béjaïa, Sonelgaz's adoption of the BaridiMob application represents a significant stride in the company's commitment to modernizing customer relations and streamlining service delivery. This initiative, part of a nationwide effort by Sonelgaz's various branches, underscores a strategic focus on digital solutions to enhance the payment experience for its clients. The remarkable surge in BaridiMob usage, from 1,400 operations in July 2025 to over 31,000 by April 2026, clearly demonstrates the growing acceptance and effectiveness of digital tools among Algerian consumers. This success not only reflects the company's successful digital transformation but also highlights a broader trend of increasing digital literacy and adoption within the country. From an Algerian perspective, this move by Sonelgaz is more than just a technological upgrade; it's about making essential services more accessible and responsive to the needs of the population. The company's simultaneous provision of installment payment plans for financially distressed customers further illustrates a customer-centric approach, balancing the pursuit of efficiency with social responsibility. This story is particularly relevant locally as it showcases how a major public utility is adapting to the digital age, improving convenience for citizens while also addressing the challenge of collecting substantial debts.
