If you take a local SIM card, then the call will cost you about 80 cents per minute, and SMS 0.14 cents. Incoming free.

The cheapest and easiest option is a payphone and a phone card, which you can buy at any shop with a face value of 2, 5, 10, etc. dollars. I never even bother either in Turkey or Egypt on roaming and local SIM cards, there is free Wi-Fi almost everywhere, and if you need to call - a payphone. They are also not uncommon in Egypt.

you can buy payphone cards in Hurghada, in charm you still need to find a payphone, you only need 2 of them)))

Thanks everyone for the reply! I'm going to Sharm, to Shark Bay, does anyone know if there is a payphone?
аватар orbittours.ru
there is no payphone there, but there is a soho square with free wi-fi.
Hurghada is a city and a resort, and charm is a resort, that's why we don't have many payphones. in naama bay we have a payphone, but it is so hidden that it is not easy to find it))) everyone has cell phones. the card costs 18-20 pounds (almost 3 dollars)

sorry, the last phrase should be read like this: a sim card costs 18-20 pounds (almost 3 dollars)

find out the cost of roaming from your operators, there may be promotions, discounts. I took the TravelSim card myself, last year I used Life (about 2 UAH / min), TravelSim was not useful. Now something similar at MTS ...

I'll tell you this, I bought a 3-modem with a SIM card, took a netbook with me and called via Skype (there are good tariffs for mobile and landline to different countries). If you go to Sharm, then leave the hotel by taxi (blue minibus) and go to the old market, go to the photo store and he sets everything up for you completely (150 pounds) and is not independent of anyone. Write prompt already 8 times in Egypt.

orbittours, I have a sim card. Internet about 1.5 dollars. per day, but mobile communications are expensive.

if you bought and used your card more than 4 months ago, then most likely the number was taken from you. Here, such a rule is no movement on the account for 4 months or more, then the number has the right to put it on sale again.

Thank you Angela. Looked at the site of our operators info. life now - incoming 2.49 UAH. outgoing UAH 4.99 I looked at the MTS tariffs, yes there is a profitable package “FREE INCOMING DAY”, but there is no Egypt in the list of countries in which the package operates.

thanks orbittours! I used the card in November, but I did not know that the number was taken so quickly.

wertvovan, I'll take the maximum with me, so it's a tablet :-). Blackberry tablet doesn't have skype...
аватар orbittours.ru
come try it, at least you will know why it doesn’t work)))) vodafone now sells cheap sim cards for 20 pounds maximum)))
аватар wertvovan
and an android phone?
аватар OLA14
wertvovan, My phone is not on android. I decided to buy an MTS card. Maybe someone will be interested: the cost of the starter package is 25 UAH, 50 minutes of free incoming calls - 99 UAH.
