Hi there ​@John olakunle Ajayi moyofola 

 

Yes you can. But at a cost

 

For Egypt you would need to connect to one of these roaming partners:

→  Etisalat, Orange Egypt, Vodafone

 

The costs for using your iD SIM in Egypt are:

Texts to UK** £0.60 £0.60
Picture message (MMS) sent** £0.60 £0.60
Internet and Data (per MB)*** £1.50 £1.50

* Price per minute

** Please note: MMS charges vary. For further information, refer to Terms & Conditions. If you joined or upgraded on or before 20th June 2023 the MMS cost is £0.30 per message for Roaming within EU Bands 1 and 2.

*** Data is charged or deducted in one kilobyte (KB) increments and any part KB used will be rounded up to the nearest KB

**** The charges below will apply to all Pay-as-you-go customers starting from 1st October 2024. Find out more about the current charges here.

For Nigeria you would need to connect to one of these roaming partners:

→  Airtel, Etisalat, GloMobile, MTN

 

The costs to use your iD Mobile SIM in Nigeria are:

Roaming Pay monthly Pay-as-you-go****
Calls to UK* £2.40 £2.40
Calls to Nigeria* £2.40 £2.40
Calls received* £2.40 £2.40
Texts to Nigeria** £0.60 £0.60
Texts to UK** £0.60 £0.60
Picture message (MMS) sent** £0.60 £0.60
Internet and Data (per MB)*** £1.50 £1.50

* Price per minute

** Please note: MMS charges vary. For further information, refer to Terms & Conditions. If you joined or upgraded on or before 20th June 2023 the MMS cost is £0.30 per message for Roaming within EU Bands 1 and 2.

You would also need to set roaming up on your account and on your phone

 

I would highly recommend you turn the phone off (or use flight/airplane mode) when you’re leaving the UK and switch the phone on when you get to each destination and do the same when you leave to come back to the UK
