Which SIM card is better to use "local" or take your own "Russian"?
I have a beeline connection in Russia. Advise which connection is better to use? If I go with this SIM card - roaming, will the bodies eat up a lot of money? They said that our connection is completely disconnected, so also the account goes far into the minus.

Yes, you can stay in the minuses easier than the local one, although I used the services of this operator from Ukraine and at first it was convenient to communicate with text messages on Skype, it was not possible to get out. It eats up the whole bag at once. recreation.

You need to clarify what tariff plans in roaming can offer you and compare with the prices here in Egypt. And roughly estimate how much you will talk and count.
Communication here will cost approximately for you - a sim card 5 $ + calls (within the network 0.12 Egyptian pounds per minute, calls outside the territory - 4 pounds per minute, SMS outside Egypt 1 Egyptian pound, inside Egypt 0.3 pounds). 7.2 pounds =1$
The problem is that often people, having put money on roaming and having spent all the money, do not have the opportunity to replenish their account in Egypt (you can only ask your relatives to ask them to deposit money, or if you have a card and the Internet, replenish your account by transferring money electronically). If wam. You also need mobile Internet, then without talking it’s better to buy a local card. Your hotel is not far from the old city, walking there you will find 3 operators whose services you can use - etisalat, water background and mobile, now vodafone has good traffic offers and I think its coverage is the best.

Thank you all very much for your advice. In principle, I don’t need to call everyone in a row. You yourself know how it happens with us: you sit at home, no one cares about you, as soon as you cross the threshold, everyone needs something right away. what...

I agree “with the previous speakers” - specify what BEELINE can offer you in this case. Naturally, it is better to ask about this at the operator's office or look at its official website.
However, based on the numerous reviews of my tourists, I recommend to refrain from using the services of BEELINE while in roaming ... The guys shout in one voice: “AAAAAAAA!!! WHERE HAVE A THOUSAND RUBLES (ONE AND A HALF / TWO, etc.) DONE? I only sent 3 SMS messages and talked for 2 minutes!!!” Something like that))
What are the options then? The options are as follows.
The MTS operator has a wonderful, in my opinion, service. It's called Zero Without Borders. In roaming, all incoming calls from the 1st to the 10th minute are free of charge, and from the 11th minute - 5 rubles per minute. The cost of outgoing calls depends on your tariff plan, but it is also very “divine”. All this pleasure costs - 33 rubles / day. Brother recently flew in, connected all of the above and was very pleased)) Read in detail on the official MTS website: http://www.mts.ru/mob_connect/roaming/i_roaming/discount_roaming/wwb/

In your case, if it is important to answer incoming calls, then you can buy MTS, connect "Zero Without Borders" and set forwarding to a new number from your BEELINE number. Then the one who will call your regular number will pay "as usual", as if you were at home.
Well, if answering incoming messages is not so important, then you can buy an Egyptian SIM card. With or without Internet traffic. There are three mobile operators here: VODAPHONE (the most promoted), ETISALAT (medium), MOBINIL (more modest). It so happened that I use the services of all three. I personally recommend Mobile. It costs the least and works the best. Vodafone is slightly “buggy” from time to time, and Etisalat’s Internet is not ice at all during “rush hours”.

The cost of driving calls and SMS for all operators is 0 (free).
SMS-ki home - everyone has 1 Eg.lb. (rate 1 $ = 7 Eg.f.).
Cost of 1 minute of outgoing calls:
- Vodafone and Etisalat - 2 Eg.f. (+2 eg.f. per connection),
- Mobile - 2 Eg.f. (+1.5 EGF per connection).
The cost of 1 GB of mobile Internet (when connected at the official offices of mobile operators):
- Vodafone and Etisalat - 25 Eg.f.,
- Mobile - 20 Eg.f.
The cost of the SIM card itself depends on where you buy))
Confused with numbers?
In general, for example, I “make” a SIM card for my tourists with a balance of about 3 minutes of an outgoing conversation with the house + 1 gigabyte of Internet for:
- Vodafone and Etisalat - $ 7,
- Mobile - $5.

Please note: if you plan to actively use Skype, then you need to buy a SIM card only with Internet traffic, without the ability to make voice calls. That is, it will not be possible to call from it on a regular connection.
A SIM card with both Internet and voice calls (hybrid) will allow you to make calls, as well as use most “dialer” programs (for example, Viber or Mail agent), but you CANNOT talk on Skype with it. This program in this case is simply blocked. Such are the local Egyptian "troubles".
But in general ... there is such a sun here, such a sea ... Why do you need to call somewhere at all? Let your phone “go on vacation” with you, it’s also tired)))………
