DON’T PAY FOR EXPENSIVE HOTEL WIFI

Your connection using a Vodafone or WE-telecomegypt 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.

THE SOLUTION

Steven is offering fast Vodafone or WE-telecomegypt internet SIM cards for I phones, iPads, laptops, any smart phone or android, with up to 40 GB of browsing and downloads for between 11 and 50 euros, depending on the package inclusive of delivery charges. Vodafone and WE-telecomegypt have the best coverage in the Marsa Alam area of any mobile network and work in almost all areas of all resorts. Steven can also supply SIM card packages for mobile phones.

It couldn’t be easier. Just contact Steven via WhatsApp or phone on +201284332337 or by email at Steven@marsaalam.com. 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 upon collection or delivery. 

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.
