Phone contract for regular trave to Egypt
Options
Hi, Part of my job now requires travel to egypt (once a quarter). Before I have just purchased a local sim for data. I am with Lebara but wonder if enyone knows a (good value) provider that may include Egypt roming to save me purchacing a new sime each time and be able to keep my regular number. (hope that makes sense). Have tried reseaching internet but not obvious. Thanks in advance

Egypt is expensive for roaming, probably £5 to £10 a day.You can buy special tourist SIMs in the airport which are a little more reasonable.Remember that technically speaking international calls over WiFi or data are banned in Egypt. Normal calls are subject to surveillance.1

I use the Holofly e-sim. Once installed you can purchase data for pretty much any country. I've used it extensively in Egypt and always found it reliable. As above, technically WiFi calls are illegal. That said, mine work perfectly; there are simple ways around the blocks I'm told, but so far my WhatsApp works in Egypt and several other countries that it shouldn't work in!1
