Marsa Alam SIM Cards

To book a SIM card or if you have any questions, please email Steven@marsaalam.com or contact him via WhatsApp on +20 1284332337.

Pick up a SIM card on arrival – just let Steven know the data bundle you need and your arrival date, time and flight number and when you reach the exit door of the arrival hall you will find our representative holding a sign with your name on. You can make the payment to him. Insert the sim card in your phone and it will work straight away. The person waiting isn’t allowed to do anything other than deliver the sim card due to airport regulations, but if you need any assistance or there is any problem please call or email and Steven will sort it out for you.

Alternatively, if you would prefer delivery to your hotel, the charge in the Marsa Alam area is only five euros for deliveries up to 25 km (as measured from the airport) and 10 euros for distances from 26 km to 50 km. For longer distances, please ask for the price.

Advantages of buying a SIM card bundle from Steven –

*If you want to use WhatsApp for calling home from Egypt, please remember to download a VPN from an app store. A VPN for WhattsApp encrypts your internet traffic and routes it to a server located anywhere you choose. So even while you are in Egypt, you can access the app as if you were in Britain or Germany. 

SIM CARD PRICES – SPECIAL OFFERS

Steven has special bundle offers for Vodafone internet, call only and internet and call bundles. SIM cards are already available ready to use triple cut (all sizes) – mini, micro and nano. Simply insert the SIM in the slot, open mobile data and it’s ready.

DELIVERIES AS FAR AS HURGHADA !

Steven can also deliver to hotels further away. Please check the price guide given on this page. In Hurghada the same fast service is offered for 10 euros for Hurghada hotels and 15 euros for hotels in El Gouna, Sahl Hasheesh and Makadi Bay.    

DON’T PAY FOR EXPENSIVE HOTEL WIFI

Your connection using a Vodafone SIM card is likely to be far better and cheaper than the WIFI connection in the hotels. Most of us don’t think about the problem of connecting online during our holidays. We assume that there will be a good connection for free or at most only a few euros a day.

Unfortunately, however, few hotels in Marsa Alam currently offer free internet and then often only in the lobby area, while most hotels charge shockingly high prices. Why do they charge so much ?  Well, when you are surrounded by the desert, they think you don’t have any other options.  What’s worse is that after shelling out all that cash many tourists find that their connection is a lot slower than they had hoped.

STEVEN’S SOLUTION

Steven is currently offering to deliver fast Vodafone internet SIM cards for I phones, iPads, laptops, any smart phone or android, with up to 48 GB of browsing and downloads to your hotel for between 5  and 80 euros, depending on the package plus delivery charges. Vodafone’s network has the best coverage in the Marsa Alam area of any mobile network and works in almost all areas of all resorts.  

Steven also supplies SIM cards for mobile phones as well as prepaid credit if you need it.  It couldn’t be easier. Just email steven@marsaalam.com or contact him via WhatsApp on +20 1284332337. You can  have it delivered to your hotel. Don’t forget to specify the size of SIM card you want, whether you want a data card or telephone card or a combination and the bundle you want with it.  You will find the SIM card ready and activated when it is delivered. 

RENT A ROUTER

You can rent a seven GB data SIM card with a 3G WIFI router for up to three weeks with a 60 euro refundable deposit. You pay only 10 euros for the use of the router up to the end of your holiday (for a maximum of three weeks) and you can use it in multiple devices.
