abesteSIM does not sell eSIM plans for Egypt that provide a local phone number or SMS capability. The provider offers only data‑only eSIMs for travel to Egypt, so travelers will need to use VoIP applications such as WhatsApp, Telegram, or iMessage to make calls and send messages over the data connection. While most of these apps work in Egypt, some destinations block or limit access to specific services, so it is advisable to confirm the availability of the apps you rely on before purchasing an abesteSIM plan.
