Egypt SIM

EllasDevil · **Egypt SIM -** 08-08-2009, 10:21

Hi guys,

I'm taking off for Egypt for a couple of weeks with a group of friends and we need Egyptian sim cards to use there (roaming is too expensive).

Do all three carriers have good coverage, I know they all promote tourist sims at a good price.

Anyone have any experience of Egypt?

Thanks

Coverage is very good in the Cairo area with all 3 carriers I have used while roaming in there.

I would not worry about coverage Because Egypt is generally flat. It depends where you will be moving. If you are mostly in the tourist areas coverage is fine. I know that some vodafone prepaids offer Greece calling at around 0,5 euro/min.

our boss always buys a Vodafone SIM when he is there. The coverage was always good - also 3G is available more and more often.
