Syriatel was founded in January 2000, with its headquarters in Damascus, Syria. The Government licenses two private companies to supply mobile phone services, Syriatel and "94". Orascom provided the management. The license with the Government was a Build-own-transfer (BOT) contract for 15 years.[6]
In 2011 the European Union imposed sanctions on Syriatel in order to intensify pressure on Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.[7]
In 2017 Syriatel introduced 4G speeds offering 150 Mb/s speeds, branded Super Surf.[4] On 5 June 2020, a Syrian court ordered Syriatel be placed under judicial custody.[8]
