Traveller's guide
Staying connected in Egypt
Local tourist SIMs in Egypt require passport registration, and airport kiosks are notorious for holding your passport for hours or quoting inflated "tourist" prices. An eSIM sidesteps all of it — activate from home with no ID and no queue.
Egyptian networks routinely block voice and video calls on WhatsApp, FaceTime and Messenger. Because your data breaks out through an international gateway, those calls typically go through as normal — no VPN, no workaround.
Expect fast coverage across Cairo, Alexandria and the Red Sea resorts of Hurghada and Sharm El Sheikh. Signal thins in the Western Desert toward Siwa and on Nile stretches between Luxor and Aswan, so save offline maps before long drives.

FAQ
Questions, answered
Will the Egypt eSIM work on my phone?
Yes, as long as your phone supports eSIM and is carrier-unlocked. That covers iPhone XS and newer, Samsung Galaxy S20 and newer, Google Pixel 3 and newer, and most modern Android phones. Dial *#06# to check for an EID number.
How fast is the data in Egypt?
Your eSIM connects to our local partner network at 4G/5G speeds — fast enough for maps, video calls, streaming, social media and mobile hotspot.
Do I need a passport or registration?
No. There's no ID check, no paperwork and no SIM registration. You buy online, receive a QR code by email, and install it yourself in under two minutes.
When does my plan start?
Validity begins the moment your eSIM first connects to a network in Egypt — not at purchase. You can install it days ahead of your trip with zero waste.
Can I add data to an eSIM I already have?
Not on a data package — the amount of data is fixed, so nothing is added to an eSIM that is already running. If you need more, another package for the same destination arrives by email and installs alongside the eSIM you already have. Our unlimited plans work differently: those can be extended by extra days while they are still active.
Can I keep my normal number for calls and texts?
Yes. The eSIM runs alongside your physical SIM, so your home number stays active for calls and bank codes while the eSIM handles data in Egypt.
What happens when my data runs out?
Your connection simply pauses — no surprise bills, ever. To keep going, buy another package for the same destination.
Can I use it as a mobile hotspot?
Tethering is enabled on our plans and we don't add a hotspot limit of our own — shared data counts like your own use. Whether your device and the local network allow it is up to them, so we can't guarantee it.
Can I make WhatsApp and FaceTime calls in Egypt?
Yes. Egyptian networks usually block VoIP on local SIMs, but your AeroSims data breaks out through an international gateway, so these calls typically work with no VPN needed.
Need unlimited data?
Skip the data cap — our Unlimited plan gives endless data for a fixed daily price.
