Hi all

 

My son is going on holiday to Egypt and I was wondering if there is something I can purchase so that he can use his phone whilst there and so I can contact him,  it's this possible? 

 

Thanks Pete

Unfortunately @Pete7769, the iD Mobile roaming charges for Egypt aren’t cheap, nor do iD sell a roaming package for this destination. 

Maybe best to buy a local SIM upon arrival, or if using an eSIM capable handset purchase a data-only eSIM with a travel plan for Egypt, e.g. https://airalo.com/egypt-esim, https://roamless.com, etcetera.

I always use the eSIM from https://simbye.com They also offer 24/7 support.
