Quarterly international roaming statistics for Rwanda from Section 2 (Tables 19, 20 and 21) of the RURA ICT Sector Statistics Report. Three cross-tab snapshots are unified here: average roaming subscribers, roaming voice traffic in minutes, and roaming SMS traffic in messages, each split by direction and by operator (MTN, Airtel). Direction distinguishes roaming-in (foreign subscribers using local Rwandan networks) from roaming-out (Rwandan subscribers using foreign networks while travelling abroad). The headline pattern is that outbound roaming has grown faster than inbound: Rwandans roaming abroad rose 46% year on year in early 2026, outpacing the 22% growth in foreign subscribers roaming in. Each quarterly report is a snapshot dated by the Table 19 title, so the series is assembled from the run of reports, preferring the most recent report for any restated quarter. RURA compiles the figures from licensed mobile network operators.
