I bought a Vodafone SIM card in Charm many times. Everything has always worked perfectly. And I went to Cairo, there were no problems with communication anywhere. I always take a minimum amount of 10-11 GB, enough for 2 weeks, taking into account the hotel Wi-Fi. If you buy a SIM card at the airport, be sure to connect and check on the spot, because the cunning Egyptians can cheat and sell a used SIM card with the remaining GB. If you want to put extra money on the SIM card later, keep in mind that in Egypt the mobile tax is 43%. In other words, the amount will drop to your account minus 43%. And one more thing, who doesn't know: there is no unlimited Internet in Egypt.
Some strange reviews. The most normal operator here is vodafone. But there is a caveat. For example, for 660 pounds ($13.5) you buy 12GB of traffic, and you also have flexi, something like a virtual currency. Which is spent after the end of 12GB of traffic. It is spent in different ways, depending on the service used! Tiktok and YouTube are calculated differently, for example. In total, for 660 pounds you will get ~20GB of total traffic.
IT is IMPORTANT that there are a lot of outlets on the streets of the city that present themselves as official retailers. In fact, there is only an official point in the Pyramid Town and at the airport. I didn't see it again. They give out checks there and can't even take tips in gratitude, because they refuse to tip themselves under the cameras.
There were a lot of people, but we were served quickly, the point was official, they gave us a check, they didn't take a tip, they told the cameras, we were even very surprised, for the first time we refused to take the money 😁👍
We took 2 24 GB SIM cards for $13 each. But you need to understand that they have slightly different GB (like flex), so you need to take more than the usual traffic.
We bought a SIM card here, helped and did everything quickly, even let them through without waiting in line. Payment is accepted in pounds and dollars.
A Vodafone SIM card for 20 gigs was purchased at Sharma Airport for $15!!!! In fact, it turned out to be a 10 Gig tariff for 133 pounds. It was thought that this was an official office, but no- scammers.
I took 30 gigs at the airport for $ 10 , drove an hour to the hotel and ran out of gigabytes , do not take the deception from them . I managed to answer a few messages on WhatsApp and that's it.
Don't make my mistakes, I took 2 SIM cards in the office for 800 gine, the Flex rate is 200, it's like 20 Gigs of memory. Gigi disappeared on 1 sim card in less than 3 days! The second one strangely had a remainder. In addition to the vatsapp and then through the VPN, everything else inside the country worked so slowly and poorly that it was simply not possible to call even a taxi through the app or see the route on the map, it was not loaded. The application managed to register ate, ate, but there is no sense from it. Stupidly decided to extend the tariff for the next month on 1 SIM card, went to the office gave 400 gina, the Internet of course did not work in the shopping center and had to leave without checking. At home, I found out that they put only 280 out of 400 (And the next day I saw that the amount was reduced by 5 gins a day. Why, where or what is not said. OK, I think I have money left, I will change the tariff to a cheaper one and hi with it, but it was not there in the application even with a cache on the balance, it gives an alleged error and does not allow switching, not an hour later, not a day, the error does not disappear. As a result, the payment was debited at the same rate in 200gine , why I paid 800 for 400 at the office then, I did not understand. In general, one continuous disappointment, nerves spent and not a little money wasted. Today I issued a SIM card of the company We and oh my God how happy I am, the intranet is flying, VPN is not needed and even remotely connects me to work on the beach. It was my sad experience, don't repeat my mistakes.
The Internet was turned off on the day of departure. Immediately at 00:00, and we leave in the evening. At first we thought it was nonsense, but there are still gb left. But the Internet was turned off on both phones and that's it. We took 2 52GB SIM cards, used up both 30GB.
Now we will be without Internet all day long 🤡
Being cheated outright, I do not advise anyone to use the services of this Operator
Gigabytes are not real at times more expensive than other operators
