Help urgently! Yesterday at the airport I bought a Vodafone SIM card, 10 gig for $ 10, they inserted it in front of me, but did not have time to activate it. Map is now inactive
Everyone I didn’t address shrug their hands and say mafia at the airport (((
I'm trying to set it up myself, but everything is in Arabic.

In any hotel there is an IT specialist, ask him to help
Check the Internet "on the spot". Don't get fooled by "get it later", don't leave until 4G arrives...or take your money. There is a chance to buy 3 gigabytes for the price of 10. But to sell a dummy ... this is something new

One piece of advice: if you can’t set it up yourself and don’t understand it, then the guys at the reception will set it up for you, don’t be shy. Because now imaginary experts will start to sell you useless advice here.

I don’t know, but how many times they took it and everything was always OK. moreover, the last two times they took a picture of the code to activate an additional 10 gigs and everything was already set up at the hotel. There may be a moment when your phone does not work with this SIM card (it happened to me. They put it in mine, it doesn’t work, but my husband put it in and everything was fine) My phone is not one of the old ones, but they didn’t find out why it happened. From his husband, he distributed the Internet to my phone and to children on tablets.

"It is unlikely that they will help you activate the card on the forum" - that's how sad it is, but it's true

Inserting into an arc Samsung phone, it does not detect a card at all, I go into the card settings there everything is in Arabic

That's just the point, I myself would have set it up, but everything is in Arabic ()))
Wi-Fi in the hotel is only available at the reception, unfortunately.
Tomorrow I'll go to the old market

I bought a card once for all trips and also had difficulties. She pestered everyone, starting with the guide on the bus, ending with the reception and the TO guide at the hotel. The guide was able to set up, but also with problems, he called someone and consulted) . I don't risk it anymore. This time I will buy a card not at the airport in order to set it up slowly right in the store.

You just need to check at the airport or buy later in the city calmly. And then they do everything quickly, even they could forget to set it up.

Vodafone SIM card does not require manual Internet connection settings on the phone, everything comes automatically. If you have two SIM cards, check in the SIM settings that the Internet is coming from the correct card.

Greetings
1) If you bought at the airport from an official representative of Vodafone, then the card is working.
2) If in the supposedly Vodafone office near your hotel you were offered to buy an Orange card, then this is never a Vodafone office: it's just an ordinary SIM kiosk, they are not representatives of Vodafone (they have a sign just to attract people). They are not interested in solving your problem by setting everything up correctly. They will not waste their time on you setting up something for free.
3) The problem, most likely, is not in the SIM settings, but in the phone settings. Something in the "mobile networks" settings (some kind of encoding, I don't remember exactly). And I'm not talking about the notorious settings that can come in SMS.
I had this problem with 2 phones. You need to come to the official Vodafone office, switch the phone system from Russian to English and give it to the representative of the company - he will set everything up in 2 minutes, they often face this problem.

Can you at least write what happened there? Maybe something other than the settings in the phone and the SIM card.

I had such a problem with a SIM card in the Dominican Republic. I also sinned on a SIM card, but it turned out that something very simple had to be changed in the phone, the Internet appeared in the phone settings. Unfortunately, I don't remember what was changed.

Arrived from Egypt two weeks ago. They took an Orange 16 GB card (10 GB + 6 GB promotion) for $10. It also did not activate at first, they said that it would be active in 2 hours. We were at the hotel in an hour. At the reception he asked the Arab to look what was there and how. He said - restart the phone, which I did. The Internet HAS APPEARED!!! I have 16 GB, enough for 11 days with a head.

try:
put in a sim. You should be prompted for a password. The password is indicated on the card where the SIM card was taken from. The password must be entered. Very often the password is 0000.
Further:
enter the "settings" of the phone, open "connections", open "mobile networks". There should be networks that reach your hotel. Look for your network. Click on it. Then it should go automatically. If it doesn't work, then you need to go to a network representative.

I bought a SIM card with 10 GB of Internet at the airport for $ 10 ... after using 5.4 GB, the Internet ended ... I went to Vodafone in the Old Market, they explained on the fingers that the Internet for surfing in the browser is only 5 GB - the remaining 5 GB for social networks (such as vatsap, etc.). True, Viber does not work ... these are 10 GB ...
