Egypt eSIM: questions travelers ask

01How much do Egypt eSIM plans cost?

12 plans from $0.50 up to $35.70. Prices are live from the catalog and every plan page shows the current price, the data amount and the validity.

02Which networks does the Egypt eSIM use?

The plans connect to Etisalat, Orange, Vodafone, with 4G/LTE in tourist areas and cities; 5G in Cairo and Alexandria. Coverage spans Cairo, Giza Pyramids, Luxor, Aswan, Hurghada, Sharm el-Sheikh, and Marsa Alam. Each plan page lists its networks and whether they offer 3G, 4G or 5G.

03Anything special about using an eSIM in Egypt?

Coverage in the Western Desert and Sinai interior is limited — Bedouin camps and remote diving sites can be off-grid. Hurghada and Sharm el-Sheikh resort areas have strong 4G; Red Sea liveaboard boats lose signal a few km offshore.

04When does my Egypt plan start?

At the first connection to a network in Egypt, not when you buy or install it. Install at home over Wi‑Fi; the days start counting when you land.

05How do I install the eSIM?

The QR code arrives by email within minutes of payment. iPhone: Settings → Cellular → Add eSIM and scan it. Android: Settings → Network & Internet → SIMs → Add eSIM. It takes about two minutes; the help center has the step-by-step version.

06Do I keep my phone number and WhatsApp?

Yes. The eSIM carries data only and works next to your own SIM, so your number, WhatsApp, iMessage and banking apps keep working. Switch data roaming off on your home SIM so it never bills you abroad.

07What happens when the data runs out?

Add more data from My eSIMs in a minute, or switch on auto top-up after checkout and the same plan is added by itself at 90% used. Daily plans get cheaper per day the more days you buy at once.

08Can I get a refund?

Yes, in full, as long as the eSIM was never activated. A technical problem that stops activation is refunded too; write to support with your order number.
