In Jordan, the mobile market is dominated by three main providers: Zain, Orange, and Umniah. As of February 2026, the focus has shifted heavily toward 5G expansion and "data stacking" rewards to keep customers loyal.
The Main Carriers
Each carrier offers a variety of "Lines" (prepaid or postpaid) tailored to different demographics like students, youth, or professionals.
* Zain Jordan: Currently leading with diverse 5G plans.
* Zain 8+: A popular choice at roughly ₪11.14 JOD (tax included), offering 15GB of data. It features "Data Stacking," where you get an extra 1GB every month you renew on time, up to 5GB.
* Go65 (Postpaid): A premium plan for ₪65 JOD/mo (before tax) that includes 95GB of data, unlimited local calls, and 210 international minutes.
* Orange Jordan: Known for their "Ma'ak" and "YO" lines.
* Ma'ak Lines: Ranging from ₪6 to ₪15 JOD. For example, Ma'ak 7 gives you 20GB plus a 10GB bonus for the first three months.
* 5G Home & Mobile: Orange often bundles mobile plans with home fiber discounts. Their high-tier Ma'ak 15 plan currently includes a ₪60 JOD discount on a new 5G handset.
* Umniah: Usually the most budget-friendly and recently named the "Best Mobile Network" by Ookla for early 2026.
* U8 Plus: Often cited as the best value for tourists or casual users at around ₪8.50 JOD, offering 19GB plus stacking bonuses.
* U13+: For ₪13 JOD, you get 60GB of data and 1,000 international minutes.
Current Device Deals
Retailers like Action Mobile and the official carrier e-shops are currently promoting the following:
* iPhone 17 Series: Available at all major carriers. Prices range from ~₪799 JOD for the base model to ~₪1,099 JOD for the Pro versions. Look for "Free Speaker" or "Free Accessory" bundles at Orange and Zain.
* Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra: Currently retailing for around ₪760 JOD at independent retailers, often slightly higher at carriers but bundled with long-term data plans.
* Budget 5G: The Samsung Galaxy A17 5G (₪120–₪135 JOD) and Xiaomi Redmi Note 15 Pro (₪279 JOD) are the current hot sellers in the mid-range category.
