How quickly can I buy a SIM card from a local operator?
Upon arrival at the airport, buy a SIM card from a local operator as quickly as possible and activate it to work with the Internet. Will there be time between customs control and other mandatory procedures? Will the ordered transfer wait while I deal with the Internet setup?

I didn’t see SIM cards being sold at the airport. Although, it could have changed
In addition, the transfer may wait, but why should people wait for you? Or is it about a prostitute?
There are communication salons, there with a copy of your passport and buy

Buy a SIM card "Symfotour" in Ukraine, incoming free of charge, outgoing to any phone for about 5 UAH.

Here I can fully and completely suggest (I myself flew in from Egypt not so long ago) Look, they don’t sell SIM cards at the airport, there is a possibility that guides will offer. If not, then upon arrival at the hotel you go shopping (almost every hotel or not far away has all kinds of shops) The starter package costs no more than $ 5, do not see a more expensive price. Personally, for myself, for the second time I chose the Vodafone company (3 MB of Internet per day cost 1 pound, 1.2 UAH. Each next megabyte per day costs 1 pound) There seemed to be nothing complicated with the settings, but I ran 3 days to the Arabs until they got through to the call center and they sent me the correct settings specifically for my phone model. If you have any questions, please contact me, I will tell you what I can!!!

Thank you!
I arrive around 18:00 local time in Hurghada. I don’t know how it is with customs and settlement, but will I be able to buy a sim card around 21:00?
Interested in a store near the hotels: Sunrise Mamlouk, Dana Beach Resort, Desert Roze

Haaa) I rested in the Mamluk a couple of weeks ago)) You cross the road and go to the right towards Cleopatra (you will see rows of shops on the left and right) The first store will be Cleopatra (be sure to buy souvenirs there) I think the next one or after one there will be a store, it’s directly written on it vodafone sim card £15 You go there and buy. If it is closed, then run further along the row, if you don’t find it, go to another row of shops, there are also SIM cards there, but you need to go kinder. It was there that I bought a SIM card for myself, in my opinion there is a second store in the second row of stores, there is a hissing boy, he helped me with the settings (only there you already need to bargain, otherwise they get confused and sell a SIM card for $ 15)))) So good luck. And also, what model of phone do you have, I can tell you with the settings if you need of course ...

Thank you, can you show on the map where these shops are?
I will be approximately here: http://g.co/maps/4wx2n
I have an HTC Desire S phone, the settings are always automatically configured.

So, it means that I also have a device with an android operating system, the settings did not come. Which hotel are you going to??? I was in the Mamluk, the shops were located across the road, so in principle, and navigate. By the way, there is McDonald's a little further inland, there is spherical wi-fi. At the hotel, everyone should also have wi-fi, only it is expensive. Another question - what city are you from ??? I'm waiting for an answer and if I'm interested, I can throw off the Internet settings for the phone, there are just a couple of points to enter.

I plan to go to Dana Beach Resort.
From your words, I understand that these stores are located here: http://g.co/maps/uf73y
I do not want to use free wifi for security reasons. Perhaps I'll set up a VPN on my phone, then I'll try wifi.
Just in case, specify the settings for the Internet.

Hey!! It appears look - you create a new access point. Internet name vodafone Egypt, hotspot internet.vodafone.net, username and password internet. There is also an operator Etisalat and Mobinil, but I did not deal with them. Here's another if you need a couple of links, check it out, maybe you can read something useful for yourself http://egyptnet.ru/index/0-5 http://egyptnet.ru/ Oh, I asked you what city you are from because I have more there is a working SIM card from Vodafone))) Hotel Dana (only for some reason I thought that Albatross was nearby))) as I understand it, it is located right near the Garden (and Mamluk), if so, then you can safely leave the hotel and go in search of a SIM card, I I bought myself there. Good luck friend, if you have any questions - write, I will be happy to answer ..

How can you use GPRS on the territory of these hotels with 3G coverage or is there only GPRS?
I'm from Vinnitsa, the chances that we're from the same city are about one in thirty :)
аватар star_dj
Unfortunately, I'm from Nikolaev)) Everything is fine with 3G coverage, mobile Internet works much faster than ours!! In general, a good holiday.
