I do not understand the question well.
But you can buy a SIM card in a mobile phone, as long as there is money, pounds or dollars, and ask them to activate it (put it in your mobile phone), because you are unlikely to understand Arabic.

The card can be purchased without presenting documents. Only, in order to call Russia, you need to keep a decent balance of money on it, which then will have nowhere to spend. And no one will call you on it because of the high cost of negotiations. It is more profitable to connect roaming to your SIM card. Incoming will be from 20 to 30 rubles. depending on the operator. There are also tourist cards, Goodline, for example. It is profitable to call from her, but it is also expensive, since she is registered in the Baltics. Some travel agencies give it for free. Happy holidays!

Roaming razve cheap?

I agree with Gudik. We always use the local Vodafon SIM. Vodafon (they bought a SIM card in a regular souvenir shop) and they quickly set everything up for us there. And roaming is three times more expensive.
аватар jabetta
We use Travelsim, outgoing 0.50$ - 0.55$, incoming 0. Yes, calling to this card is not cheap, the price is the same as in Europe, but we use a simple "reception" - they call us on our home number, we reset and call back with Travelsim (to whom we consider it necessary, of course). Yes, one more thing, there is no per-second billing on such cards, so figure out and calculate a more profitable option for you.

You need to go with a smartphone and use free WIFI, which is full in Sharm, talk for free on SKYPE or VZOchat. We even show online video from the scene. We talk for half an hour and everything is for nothing.
аватар anbendas
for "0661474798" Skype is certainly good, but the vast majority of calls are now made from a mobile phone. Look at the skyline window 25 million users on the network, this is all over the world and at the same time there are 25 million users of MTS Ukraine on the network.
Fully agree with Gudik and jabetta

Yes, calls from Vodafone are cheaper, but you need to put a lot of money in order to call outside of Egypt. With £100 left (not sure how much) you won't be able to call. And when you go home, this balance will not be able to spend. So add it to those 2-3 pounds plus the cost of a SIM card. In addition, somehow quickly they have minutes running. You don’t even have time to talk, the money is running out.

We always buy a top-up for 5 dollars, we say, again for 5-10 dollars. The cost of a call to Ukraine from Vodafone is about 50 cents a minute. I don’t know what kind of balance of 100 pounds we are talking about. We have not encountered this.
аватар Karina-Mango
ENISKA is absolutely right, no balance is needed, even though you have 5 pounds there, you can call calmly and talk for 2 minutes .... You can officially connect a SIM card at any age, the main thing is to have a passport ....

No remainder net 100%. Bred kakoj-to...
u menya Etisalat, v Ukrainu zvonyu za 2 funta minuta...

It is necessary to put in place the overgrown mobile operators. 30 UAH {$4} for incoming and the same amount for outgoing MTS - that's too cool. Therefore, it is necessary to switch to cheaper means of communication. Mobile operators also did not immediately get 25 million subscribers.

Zato v Ukraine svyaz' kopeechnaya, pochti vse mezhdu soboy besplatno razgovarivayut... bol'she nigde takogo net...potomu schitayu greh zhalovatsa...nado zhe chem-to rasplachivatsa,eto raz, i im tozhe nado zarabatyvat', eto two...
A v Egi naoborot, vnutrennyaya sv'az' ne takaya uzh deshevaya...

The fact that roaming costs crazy money in Egypt is a way to earn not so much ours as local operators. They are so expensive for all countries that massively travel to them on vacation.
аватар Vic-Grin
The Egyptians with their prices will play out to the point that they will stop going to them. And this applies not only to mobile operators. An example is the Crimea, where vacation prices have become sky-high and people have gone abroad. And you can't even swim here. What to do in Egypt? We went to Egypt 2 times a year, and now we are thinking about other resorts. Yes, and sellers of souvenir shops finally oborzeli. And the explosion of the church by terrorists is not conducive to an increase in tourists.
аватар jabetta
I totally agree. In Egypt, the most important thing is the sea, but they also began to treat it as a consumer. It is commendable that they are trying not to allow walking on corals, taking them out, shells, etc. But for the sake of earnings, they themselves mercilessly break reefs with anchors, etc. If it goes on like this, then there will be absolutely no reason to go there. The sea is dying and prices are rising.

ya choto nicho ne poymu...
V Evrope rouming deshevyj or where?
V Egypte est' chto delat'. I ne odnim morem tut mozhno naslazhdat'sa... No eto liricheskoe otstupleniye...
Po povodu simok avtoru otvetili, vse eti rassuzhdeniya, imho, nikchemu...
аватар jabetta
Well, for example, roaming in Turkey is much cheaper.
And the fact that the topic "accidentally" "slid" into a different direction is not the first time, it often happens, especially when it brings up a sore point.
Sorry to bother you.
