Mobile calls in Sharm: Vodafone or Lifecell, local or Ukrainian?
1. You need to call home (to Ukraine) once immediately after the plane landed at Sharm airport.
2. Just in case (suddenly lost), you need to be able to call your son, who will be with me in Sharm.
What do I need to buy: a local SIM card or a roaming package on my Ukrainian SIM card (life or vodafone)? Or both? Help to understand please.
2. Just in case (suddenly lost), you need to be able to call your son, who will be with me in Sharm.

This year we used our Kyivstar for 30 UAH per day (within 15 minutes round trip). The connection quality is excellent. Money is debited only for the day of using roaming.

Money is debited in a package of 30 UAH.
For calls within Sharm, a local SIM is really more profitable. Plus internet. I advise you to buy Vodafone.

Will the roaming package allow me to call both a Ukrainian number located in Ukraine and a Ukrainian number located in Sharm?

But money is debited from both numbers at the same time. That is, per day for 2 numbers it will take 60 UAH for 15 minutes.

Travelsita, do not confuse the sinful with the righteous. There is a roaming package, and there is just roaming. It is more profitable to take packages.

What is more profitable to take is the second question. Novikovanatalia517 asked if it was possible to call Ukraine and Sharm from the same number. Yes, you can.

mindguru help you understand correctly: Do you think I need to buy a roaming package for a Ukrainian sim card (to call from Egypt to Ukraine) and also buy TWO local SIM cards (for myself and my son) in order to call each other inside Sharm?

Basically correct. It depends on who you will talk to more often and more. If with Ukraine, it is more profitable to buy a Kyivstar roaming package. If with a son in Sharm - definitely a local SIM card.
Also keep in mind that in hotels, as a rule, albeit weak, there is Internet in the lobby. And this means that if you don’t call, then you can always write home via viber.
All Egyptian SIM cards support 4G. The connection quality is stable and the speed is much better than in hotels.

You don't need to buy any roaming package on Kyivstar - it will connect automatically if you use any service.
If you make or receive a call, 30 UAH will be debited from your account immediately and you will be credited with 15 minutes for the current day - these 15 minutes you can call even in Ukraine, even in Egypt (but not to other countries - this will be a separate tariff) .
It is the same with mobile Internet - if you use it, then 35 UAH will be withdrawn from your account and you will be credited with a package of 100 Mb for one day.
In general, if you need to make only a few calls during your entire stay, or just go online a couple of times, then you can get by with roaming without buying a local SIM card. If you want to be constantly in touch, then it is better to buy a local SIM card.

Free WiFi at Sharm Airport. We always call our people on whats app even during baggage claim. Once only bought Vodafon for the Internet for a long period. Basically, for small messages there is enough wifi in the hotel.
