Communication with the outside world
Please tell me about Wi-Fi. Is it possible to buy a SIM card in Egypt so that the speed is decent? You need to be connected to the internet remotely.

And it's even easier to choose a hotel that will have free Wi-Fi! The blessing of such hotels darkness!

If the Internet is important, then it is really better to choose a hotel with free Wi-Fi and ask for a room closer to the reception where there is usually a router). Another option to visit cafes with free wi-fi

question about communication in Turkey.
Sorry, I read through the letter and the line :)
Essentially the question. You buy a SIM card, and they take it and block it in a couple of hours. Because your phone is not registered in Turkey. Maybe they won’t block it in a couple of weeks, then how lucky.

TINAEkb, about blocking an "unregistered" phone did they themselves come up with or who suggested it?))
Everything is normal in Turkey with a connection.

ollennka, change the tone, please.
Since July 12, 2005, cell phones imported into Turkey, which are supposed to be used with a SIM card of Turkish operators, must be registered at the customs service when entering the country. Ideally, this should be done within 30 days, although it is not uncommon for a phone to be blocked after as little as 18 days of stay. Next, you should pay a customs deposit and register the IMEI number of your device. Moreover, the activation of the SIM card itself can occur in various ways - either by calling 8090, or automatically within a certain time (you need to consult the seller). make sure that the seller correctly understood the term "register the IMEI" (unique telephone identification number}, since some sellers in small shops have absolutely no idea what this is.

Choosing a 5* hotel, you automatically get free Wi-Fi. If it is bad in a particular room, then in the reception area it is always good. Viber to the rescue: free messages. If you still need a SIM card, then you can buy it. Contact the guest relations department and they will tell you where is the closest to buy it.

Well, apparently, I'm still the only one here who herself used a Turkish SIM card with a foreign phone, and does not remember the news of a decade ago. Everything works fine.
If a tourist is going to spend most of his vacation in a hotel, it probably makes no sense to buy a local SIM card, a hotel Wi-Fi is enough (although not all hotels “finish off” a signal to the beach). And if you travel and see, it’s useful: call on Skype if something happened far from the hotel, ask Google what kind of attraction, puzzle the online translator.

And Viber works in Turkey and WhatsApp. And no one is blocking phones, stop writing nonsense. And Wi-Fi is available in almost every hotel, at least in bars and at the reception.

Maybe you won't be rude? I didn't come up with these conditions. Chat on the forums with people who have not even blocked a Turkish SIM card, but a phone.
I can't post links here, it's forbidden by the rules of the site :(

In 2015 we were in Hurghada, at the Minamark Hotel, the Internet was very bad there, we got out of this situation like this: we went across the road to a cafe, took $ 1 juice and sat there for as long as we needed, talked via viber .., wi-fi ,was perfect...then bring people from your hotel...the bartenders were allowed to use without ordering...even treated to vodka!!

INIGMA This is also practiced in Turkey, especially on the West Coast. You come to a cafe at a paid beach. You buy something in a cafe, then you get (if you wish) a wi-fi password, and you can lie on a sun lounger hugging the Internet all day.
In hotels, in addition to free Internet, there is often a paid one. At the reception you pay, you find out the password and you can use it in your room or throughout the entire hotel, including the beach. It's probably not more expensive than a local SIM card. Although sometimes they also complain about the speed of paid Internet.

Nevertheless, I will continue the topic of mobile Internet in Turkey and the news of a decade ago.
Here is up-to-date information - within 120 days of using a local SIM card in a foreign mobile phone, no one blocks anything, tourists can sunbathe calmly with local SIM cards.

Who is interestingly rude???? I visit Turkey every year and I have never had anything blocked. Moreover, I didn’t hear about it at all, what do your forums mean to me ????INIGMA
I also happened to be in Minamarca, probably in 2010. Fai-Wai was not found there at all, only a paid Internet cafe in the lobby. But with a cafe across the road, you are too smart))) There is KFC right across the road with excellent wi-fi))) We went there.

I won’t even enter, according to Tina, if you buy a SIM card in Turkey, then if you don’t pay the “customs tax”, will your SIM card be blocked? What is this nonsense? For how many years I have been flying to Turkestan, I have never had any problems either with our SIM card (Megaphone) or with those bought in Turkey (Vodafone). Megafon generally switches to Vodafone when entering the country, with roaming and all other amenities, but there was never any talk of any blocking. Wi-Fi works in all hotels, where it is better, where it is worse. Never had any problems with Skype or Viber. I try to use the phone less often, because roaming, etc., but you can always buy a local payphone card for communication and call home using it for little money. All telecom operators have special roaming programs for tourists and for a specific country. I want to call and chat from my phone, no problem, just take care of it in advance before the trip. Yes, the speed of the Internet is not a fact that it will be better with a Turkish SIM card.

Oh, okay. It’s not difficult for me to copy the question either - ** Please tell me about Wi-Fi. Is it possible to buy a SIM card in Egypt so that the speed is decent? It is necessary to access the Internet remotely.** What does the Turkish SIM card have to do with it. Q: Is it possible to buy a SIM card? The answer is yes. Tourist sim. Why buy a Turkish SIM card if you came to rest for 2-3 weeks??? You are answering a question of your own. Apparently for you the question sounded like this - "Will my phone be blocked if I buy a Turkish SIM card?"

Superoper73 ___Pay no attention! Tina has reviewed the forums. I’ll tell you a secret, on some forums last year they wrote that people with machine guns walk around Kemer, and Russians will be cut off their heads. And in every second hotel there is an ISIS camp *. Therefore, trust the forums less, and more - your head.
