Frequently Asked Questions
Do eSIMs work in Egypt?
Yes. Egyptian networks support eSIM, and travel eSIMs connect to Orange, Vodafone or Etisalat (e&) from the moment you land. Install yours before you fly so you have data at the airport.

Do I need to register my phone in Egypt if I use an eSIM?
Usually not for a holiday. Since January 2026, phones brought into Egypt owe customs fees once used on an Egyptian SIM, but tourists are exempt for 90 days, and phones on a foreign roaming line are not charged. Most travel eSIMs work as roaming lines. For longer stays on a local line, check the NTRA rules.
Reviewed Oct 6, 2026 · Source
Can I use my UK phone in Egypt, or is an eSIM cheaper?
Yes, if roaming is switched on, but Egypt is outside the Europe roaming zones of UK networks, so you pay a daily fee or buy a pass unless your plan includes worldwide roaming. Three, for instance, puts Egypt in its Around the World Extra zone at £8 per 24 hours for customers who joined from 18 December 2025. Data used outside a pass can be very expensive, so check your carrier's app before you fly and compare the cost of your whole trip with the plans on this page.

Mentions Egypt"I have been using the Sparks eSim from MobiMatter for some time now and I won't be deleting it. Since then, I have traveled to Egypt, Bangladesh, India, Indonesia, Singapore, Brazil, and Argentina. It was easy to install, and the reception has always been flawless!"

I love using it. The internet is a lifesaver for all of us everywhere, but it's especially necessary abroad, and having a reliable connection is fantastic. Even during my overseas vacations when I changed countries, I never experienced any internet disconnections or delays; the connection was excellent.

Since I started using MobiMatter, I have never once encountered a problem that they haven’t responded to almost immediately. I guess this is what sets them apart. Excellent customer service, very detailed troubleshooting instructions, and a support team that genuinely follows through until the issue is resolved. The app is easy to use, the eSIM installation process is straightforward, and the profes are competitive. Highly recommended for anyone who wants reliable connectivity while travelling.

I've tried a few eSIM apps and MobiMatters is the best. They have real customer support, lots of packages, and the service has worked very well in Australia, Singapore, Montenegro and other places. I highly recommend them.
