Egypt data plans
Validity starts when the eSIM first connects at your destination. Secure checkout by Stripe. Checkout is billed in USD; euro prices are shown at today's rate and may differ by a few cents on your statement.
Travelling from Ireland? Egypt is outside EU roaming. Irish operators charge daily passes or per-megabyte rates here, which is where bill shock happens. See the comparison.

Egypt eSIM FAQ
Which network does the Egypt eSIM use?
It connects to Vodafone and Orange, with automatic fallback to Etisalat where available. Expect 4G LTE wherever the network provides it.
When does the 7-day or 30-day validity start?
Only when the eSIM first connects to a network in Egypt. You can install it days or weeks in advance.
Can I use the hotspot in Egypt?
Yes. Tethering to a laptop, tablet or a travel companion's phone is allowed on every plan.
Can I make calls or send texts?
Plans are data-only. Use WhatsApp, FaceTime or Signal for calls. Your Irish number keeps receiving calls and texts on your physical SIM.
Can I top up if I run out?
Yes. Top-ups are available from the order portal while your plan is active, and apply without reinstalling anything.
Do I need to register the SIM in Egypt?
No. Local SIM registration (ID-linked) applies to SIMs bought in-country. Your Vibqo eSIM is provisioned before you travel, so there's no queue or paperwork on arrival.
