Questions

Can I buy it after I land in Egypt?
Yes, as long as you have Wi-Fi to receive the QR code and install it. Installing at home before you fly is easier, and the plan only starts when you connect in Egypt.
Does my phone support eSIM?
iPhone XR/XS and newer, Google Pixel 4 and newer, and most flagship Samsung phones support eSIM. On iPhone, go to Settings > General > About and look for "Digital SIM" or an EID number. Your phone must not be locked to a carrier.
Will I keep my UAE number for WhatsApp and bank OTPs?
Yes. The eSIM is added as a second line for data. Your UAE SIM stays in the phone for calls and SMS. Turn off data roaming on your UAE line so you are not charged for roaming data.
When does the plan start?
When your phone connects to a network in the destination, not when you install it. Install at home on Wi-Fi before you fly.
Can I get a refund?
If the eSIM has not been installed or activated, contact us within 7 days of delivery and we will review a refund. Once it is installed or connected, it cannot be refunded.
