“Terrible. Connectivity didn’t work; they basically just ripped me off. Cannot even reach their customer support. Instead of connecting me with EGYPT (which I paid for!), they connect with another polish provider with whom I can of course not use the internet. I’d give 0 stars, if I could. ”

GoMoWorld Egypt

“The selected subscription with GoMobile is a disaster. I never got an connection to the internet. The abo was active, but even with etisalat by e& 4G, not with the slower etisalad by e& 3G, it was possible to write any whatsApp, email or check a website.
The last year, with a data package from our local provide i got everytime Internet with etisalat. I would never choose a subscription with goMobile again.”

BNESIM Egypt

“Catastrophic experience with this operator.
Several eSIM changes due to failures in data speeds. Service was limited to 3G with speeds not even reaching Edge levels. The operator’s response: Even if the local network allows 5G (which I confirmed on another line) and good speeds, everything depends on our (terrible) agreements. Nothing can be done.

Of course, the website advertised 5G or 4G for Egypt, which turned out to be false (from Luxor to Aswan, which was my route).

Horrible. I wasted hours providing evidence, having to start over each time with different representatives.”

GLOBAL YO Egypt

“Used the 7 days unlimited (1GB daily + 512kbps afterwards) plan. Was connected to Orange. Speeds slow even with LTE/5G almost all day even after 24hrs period. Messaging speed was good, sharing photos was slow but possible. Often got SSL errors, can't use banking apps at some times. Instead for the same money I recommend to buy 1 day plan and then physical sim or esim directly from Vodafone.”

Egypt Travel eSIM FAQ

Everything you need to know about using eSIMs in Egypt

How many travel eSIM brands (providers) are available for use in Egypt, and how many prepaid data plans are there?

Egypt has around 170 providers and about 8, 100 prepaid data plans available. With a wide variety of options, travelers can easily find an eSIM that suits their needs.

Are there any unlimited data eSIM plans available for Egypt?

Yes, several providers offer unlimited data eSIM plans for Egypt, each with slightly different characteristics. The plans from Yesim, Roamify, abesteSIM, MicroEsim, EtravelSIM, Truely, and Ohayu all carry an unlimited data cap. Most of these plans allow tethering, though speed may be throttled after certain usage thresholds, and Ohayu imposes a hard speed limit of 1 Mbps. Validity periods vary from 1 to 40 days. Prices range from as low as $4.00 to about $124.50 USD, giving travelers flexibility to choose a plan that fits both their budget and expected usage.

What are the major mobile networks available for a travel eSIM in Egypt?

Egypt's mobile telecommunications sector is served by four major Mobile Network Operators (MNOs):

Vodafone Egypt: A subsidiary of Vodafone Group Plc, offering extensive coverage and a wide array of services, including 2G, 3G, 4G LTE, and recently launched 5G networks.
Orange Egypt: Part of the Orange Group, providing comprehensive mobile services with a robust 4G network and newly introduced 5G capabilities.
Etisalat Misr: A subsidiary of Etisalat UAE, delivering a range of mobile services over 2G, 3G, 4G LTE, and newly launched 5G networks.
Telecom Egypt (WE): The state-owned operator offering mobile services across 2G, 3G, 4G LTE, and recently launched 5G networks.

These MNOs provide the primary infrastructure for mobile services in Egypt. While there are Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs) in the country, such as We Mobile, they operate by leasing access from these major carriers. It's important to note that most travel eSIMs rely on the infrastructure of MNOs rather than MVNOs.

Can I get a travel eSIM with a phone number and SMS for Egypt?

Yes, several providers offer travel eSIM plans for Egypt that include a phone number and SMS service. Providers such as GlobaleSIM, ESIM.DOG, JamboSim, Roamify, Esimtofly, and LinkeSIM supply phone numbers and approved SMS functions, with plans ranging from 7 days to 180 days, data volumes from 1 GB to 20 GB, and prices starting around $4.00 USD.

The phone numbers supplied by these plans are issued from foreign dialing codes—most commonly +1, +33, +48, or +20—so they are not local Egyptian numbers. They support inbound and outbound voice calls (where specified) and inbound and/or outbound SMS depending on the plan. Travelers who need a truly local Egyptian number may instead use a data‑only travel eSIM and rely on VoIP applications for voice and messaging.
