We bought an Egyptian Orange card in November. Will she work in January?
Or is it better to throw it away and buy a new one? Thanks! And I ask for answers on the topic.

On the topic - if you do not replenish on time - it will not work.

Greetings
New SIM cards are usually disabled after 2 months of non-use.
Now there is still a new Egyptian joke - they can turn it off at the end of the visa (if a passport was presented during registration). Some sims work, some don't.
You can still try to turn on the SIM card at home and see if it catches the network. If it is written that in roaming, then it works. If it says "only for emergency calls", then it's turned off.

Where is the visa information from?
Straight from the Vodafone office. They asked if we would renew SinaiOnly. They said no and got a contract for a month. The office informed that if we extend our stay in Gavazeta, they will extend the validity of the SIM card. For two years now, how strict with this.
"On topic - if you don't refill on time - it won't work."
Old SIM cards can work this way if they are periodically replenished and checked. But why? )))
It's easier to buy new ones, there are always promotions.

You have entered into a contract for a certain time. How is this related to the visa? No way. Did you have a visa for a month?
If you buy a regular sim without concluding a contract, there is also a certain time after which the card is blocked. Again, it has nothing to do with the visa. Purely technically it is impossible. Don't tell people stories.

Are you normal? I explain to you that a tourist sim card is sold to a foreigner during his stay in Egypt, as evidenced by a visa or a Sinai stamp. Vodafone sells tourists a contract with a validity period of no more than a month, because a visa on arrival is issued for a month.
What is not clear? What is technically impossible? Set SIM expiration date? Don't be dumb.

Almost any hotel guide tells newly arrived tourists that if they buy an excursion not from him, but in some gateway, then their insurance will turn into a pumpkin. The question is not how true this is. The question is, do you believe in it.
Someone didn't understand. It happens. And I repeat once again: the expiration date of the SIM card is NOT tied to your visa. Sleep well.

but the Egyptians told me that it was tied, because the number of rooms is not rubber. And if the number after leaving the country is not active for several months, it is disembodied and sold to others in a new way.

mindguru, don't mislead people. Egypt has certain laws and regulations. alexfili told the real situation in the real office of Vodafone, which is really happening nowadays.
Here, as I understand it, the point is not only in the number of rooms, but also in tightening the rules in order to counter terrorism. The government thinks something like this: “If a tourist has not extended his visa, then he either left or is in the country illegally. If he is in the country, then let him come and extend his visa (otherwise he will remain without communication). The SIM card will work - the tourist will not use it in roaming anyway.To prevent someone "left" from using it for "left" purposes, it is turned off.
With old SIM cards, the situation is somewhat different, they may be turned off at the end of the visa, or they may not be turned off (as lucky).

At the end of May, we bought Vodafone SIM cards (not at the airport, without a passport), used them for a week. returned to Egypt in early July and both no longer worked, though I don’t remember exactly, or there is no connection at all, or there is simply no Internet.
Immediately at the airport I bought Orange, the Internet appeared after 4! hours.
She returned to Ukraine a week later and gave the same SIM card to her friend, she also used it for another week in Egypt

I don’t know orange, but Vodafonovskaya did not work a month later, it was checked. Just the last two years have been concluded for the duration of the Visa. After this vacation, they immediately threw it away in Boryspil. We will need to buy a new one upon arrival.
