We are going to Egypt for the first time. Many recommend buying a SIM card from the local operator at the airport for uninterrupted Internet. Tell me which operator is better, the price?

Choose whichever is cheaper from Orange or Vodafone.
They work equally well.
On average, a SIM card costs $10-12

Orange and vodafone

Constantly bought Orange, excellent internet, enough for 10 days. This year I bought Vodafone and had to replenish it in five days, there were still interruptions, so I was a little disappointed

Definitely Orange

Orange, but not in a / port - there is an impression that some kind of expired product is being sold or faked on the amount of Gig ... better in the city at official points

I took vodafone, fully arranged, confident connection throughout the country.

vodafone - $17/16 Gig; Orange - 12$/ 16 Gig (at official points of sale)... what they vape in a/ports DOES NOT correspond to the volume that they write - it has been checked more than once;)

I took around 10-15 gigs, I don’t remember the exact amount already (2019). This was more than enough for 18 days of vacation. +/-5 bucks for a SIM, to be honest, to the point. To Vodafone, the queue was just a little smaller at the airport, so I took it from them.

but we didn’t have enough of the one in the port, we bought it in Il Mircato - it was more than enough for the next time ...

Weird. 15 gigs - I don't know what to do so that it's not enough. Movies in FullHD download.

With 16Gb, Orange has a joke that the package itself is 8Gb, and another 8Gb is a gift that needs to be activated. To do this, the seller, at the airport, showed us a sign that needs to be photographed and entered this code after the SIM card is fully activated. It usually takes 10-15 minutes to activate, so the last two times we did it on the bus, on the way to the hotel. Well, besides this, do not forget that when distributing the Internet to other smartphones, the traffic is considered as 1 to 4. And no one canceled the control of used Gb and the balance through the "My Orange" utility :-)

Maybe that's why, when the manager in the official did all this for us, we had enough for everything in excess - for 2 trips, including for numerous distributions
аватар ollennka
That is, the seller cheated, it turns out ...

Hmm, this is Egypt, baby. There is an eye for an eye. They tried to deceive me a couple of times with hotels. They say one price, but another one lights up on the terminal when paying. If you are inattentive, but you can not notice the deception.

I bought a 16 Gig vodafone at Sharm airport this year, printed it out in front of me, it was enough for 5 days, it was always enough for 10 days+ before that, now we are 100% fucked ..., next time only at the point of the city!

I agree with Fancase, the same thing at the Hurghada airport in February of this year I bought an Orange SIM card ($10, with a vodafone cost of $18), a couple of SMS and +8 gig on the card fell, more than enough.

In a charm at the airport, they bought a 9a $ 10 orange SIM card, sort of like 12GB) they already spent it on 4x4, while it works))

We bought an Egyptian SIM card at the counter at the airport to use the Vodafone Internet operator. 20,000 units for $14. 20 units is more than 10 Gb. Depends on how the Internet will be used: for Messengers (Telegram, Viber, What'sApp, etc.) and some social networks 1 unit = 1 Mb, in other cases - 2 units = 1 Mb.
At any point of our stay, there was always Internet at a normal speed (even during a long boat trip), and the volume was enough for two phones for the entire trip.

For example, I myself buy Internet from my operator in roaming. I pay by card. And I keep the number, and I have the Internet everywhere.
