It takes if international roaming is connected, but it is very expensive, the MTS Bon Voyage service is cheaper, and the most budget option is to buy a local card. In Hurghada there is a shopping and entertainment complex Senzo Mall (something like Auchan), you can buy it there, you can also from a hotel guide, but they sell more expensive.

Roaming there is not cheap (not to say - very expensive). If you plan to regularly communicate with the Motherland, I advise you to purchase something like Travelsim. Outgoing 0.50-0.55 dollars (incoming free of charge), and it will come in handy later in any country in the world.

Try to find out the prices in the nearest Internet cafe. I haven’t been to Egypt for a long time, I can’t say anything about prices at the moment, but it used to be very cheap to call from there and sit on the Internet.

MTS takes, but it is very unprofitable financially. I recommend using TravelSim or Goodline. Incoming free, outgoing $ 0.55 SIM card about $ 10 (everything falls on the account)

took mts with them for 4 days withdrew 1000 rubles. All SMS are paid and incoming and outgoing. And about SIM cards in Egypt, an interesting question, we couldn’t buy them somewhere on our own (who managed to buy from the guide upon arrival, the rest all broke off) Find out about the beeline, they seemed to have a good tariff (every day subscription fee 5 rubles and you pay for the conversation as inside the network). But this is with us, and not in Ukraine. And with mts full popadalovo. It’s better then to call from a payphone card, it’s even cheaper and you can see for what and how much money was withdrawn.

MTS for Ukraine - used Bon voyage - to report that it is quite enough to be alive and well, and there is no need to run anywhere. Go to the MTS website - everything is painted there.

"... to report that he is alive and well is quite enough ..."
But that's not enough for everyone, is it? So you need to look for the most acceptable and affordable options.

Was recently (November) in Egypt, there is an MTS connection - roaming - very expensive (although the concept is relatively expensive for everyone), but 1 min in the region of 35 UAH - incoming and outgoing. SMS - 4 UAH

Jabetta- well, that's what I wrote: bon voyage - to report that he is alive - healthy enough, if you need to be in touch 8 hours a day - use Skype, if 24 hours - a government communication line :)

Did I accuse you of something? It’s just that everyone has their own requirements for the amount of communication :) The government is far away for me personally, Skype is not acceptable everywhere, unfortunately :((
Personally, I have been using Travelsim for many years and am quite satisfied with both the quality of communication and its price (please note that the money put there does not disappear, even if you do not use the card for a long time). Therefore, with a clear conscience, I recommend it. Agree that 0.55 dollars sounds more pleasant for the payer than 35 UAH. ;)

Wouldn't it be easier to buy a local sim card?! Or if you don’t want to buy a local one, then write an SMS from the hotel using a computer in a local Internet cafe, using an Internet assistant, since we are talking about MTS.

Yes, all is well! It's just that everyone gives arguments in favor of their version of the answer. I'll write more about the Bon Voyage - activation of the service - 15 UAH, during the week say 5 UAH / min (the same 0.55 USD), in a week you can re-activate the service. Pluses - money is withdrawn from the main account - how much he said - so much was withdrawn. At the TS-MTS phone, without leaving home, before the flight, I dialed a few numbers and activated it - no need to look for and buy cards either at home or abroad.

The cheapest and high-quality option for talking with the Motherland from Egypt is to buy a local SIM card.
A SIM card costs 15-20 pounds (the balance is almost zero), immediately buy a recharge card (10, 25, 50, 100 pounds). All incoming free of charge, outgoing outside of Egypt about 4 pounds the first minute and the next less than three pounds. Calls to Egypt cost a penny.
Operators - Mobile, Vodafone and Etisalat, I give preference to the first two operators.
There are a lot of special communication salons, if you buy a SIM card right in the office, then ask them to activate the SIM card for you and you can replenish the balance right in the office.
You can also buy a SIM card in many shops and supermarkets (sometimes SIM cards are right at the checkout, sometimes you have to ask), then the price will be a little higher.

It will not be superfluous to translate all these tariffs and costs into dollars (just in case).

Total: a SIM card costs 2.5-3.5 dollars (the balance is almost zero), outgoing from Egypt 0.65 dollars for the first minute, the next 0.45 dollars.
Now you have the complete picture. Estimate and consider what is more profitable.

Here, whatever you think, it’s still more profitable to buy local and talk until “the money on the phone runs out” than to call in roaming and count every second.

So after all, when talking, the task is usually not to pronounce, say, 20 bucks, but to convey some information. He said "until the money runs out" - and you need to urgently call - again replenish the Egyptian SIM card? Travelsim is not useful in any country - you can call to / from Thailand much cheaper than 5 gr. The balance hangs on the Travelsim account - when is the next time abroad - a month, a year, 10 years?
For the sake of justice and so as not to be considered a secret agent of MTS :))) Bon voyage cons: you dial a few additional digits before the number, a reset occurs and immediately a call back - at the first attempt and a call back - I did not pick up the phone - the thought flashed "there are 35 and at home 35 - 70 gr / min - cool, "but then I figured it out. Still - when activating 15g, the cost of a minute is 5g, there is a limit of 15 minutes. conversation - I'm not 100% sure of this, that's why I wrote in the first post that reporting on health - a bon voyage is quite sufficient. These are the arguments and the TS really has plenty to choose from to your taste.

so after all, during a conversation, it usually takes a little more time to tell how we flew about the weather and share other joys. 10 pounds is not $20 at all, but it is normal to talk with loved ones, for many it is very important. Therefore, arguments are made about buying a local SIM card.
And Sim-treval will work in a month and a year.

I'm still for Travel Sim (Simtravel)
because you wave in every country to buy local sims
and so, as they say, "vzula and zabula"
i.e. bought Travelsim and operates in many countries
and the tariffs are very loyal, the connection is good

A simple question - but how many answers! :))) Probably this is due to the fact that everyone puts their own meaning into the concept of "telephone conversation". I'll try to systematize, if I'm wrong - correct me.
1) Single trips, a few short conversations - bon voyage.
2) Frequent trips to Egypt or long conversations - a local SIM card.
3) Conversations of medium duration and active trips to different countries - simtravel.
