Tell me, please, who knows: in May we were in Egypt, we bought an Orange SIM card. We are planning to go in October. Will it work if you replenish the account, or do you need to buy a new one?

The validity period must be indicated on the insert to the card, as a rule it is 3 months.

It's easier to buy a new card and immediately make the settings you need.
We used the card for 8 days and handed it over to relatives. After affixing to another phone, the card stopped working. We went after 3 months and bought a new SIM card.

Now cards for tourists are only valid for 14 days.
And last year they were valid for 3 months.

vella_vella, what is the difference between maps for tourists and non-tourists? Who will check whether I am a tourist or not?

mindguru, buying a card only if you have your passport, they make photocopies, the data is hammered into the database. If the base does not work, the card will not be sold. Tourists are sold special cards, not the same as citizens, and by default their validity period is 14 days.
You can buy a card only for mobile Internet, without calls. Immediately check with the sellers, because. calls are more expensive. At the airport you can buy a card for dollars. If you do not have time - then in the official stores of Vodafone or Orange - only for pounds. In hotels in shops with all sorts of things, they seem to sell for dollars, but for example, it cost us 2 times more than in a store :)

In shops with all sorts of things, too, only with a passport? Do not make me laugh.

Formally, to purchase a SIM card, you will need an identity document - a passport or a driver's license. Although in reality, a SIM card in Egypt can be bought without documents. The consequences of buying a card without documents may be as follows. Your card will either be blocked a few months after connection, or the operator can disable it if he does not have data about the card owner. Although this can happen when buying a SIM card with a passport, if the card seller forgot to transfer your data to the operator.

Official representatives do not sell SIM cards without a passport. Even a driver's license is not suitable for registration.

forysja, I won’t even argue. Google to the rescue.
Although, it seems to me that all my posts were exclusively about SIM cards. What do you see as a violation? Or just shut your mouth?

In June, we bought a Vodafone SIM card on the market without a passport. then replenished in the same place in the market. It even seemed that after the replenishment, the Internet was spent less on us. Try to top up on arrival. If it doesn't work, buy a new SIM card. Why pay extra $3?
