Topping Up an eSIM in Egypt: Why You Don't Need To

Trying to top up your eSIM in Egypt? There is no top-up — every plan already includes unlimited data. Here is how to stay connected for longer.

Topping Up Your eSIM from Egypt: Easy How-To Guide

Short answer: with eSIM Égypte there is no top-up — and you do not need one. Every plan already includes unlimited data for its whole duration, so there is no balance to run down and nothing to recharge.

If you searched for how to top up an Egyptian eSIM, you were probably expecting the prepaid model: buy a small bundle, watch it drain, buy more. Our plans do not work that way, so this guide explains what to do instead.

Why there is nothing to top up

What to do if you want to stay connected longer

Your plan covers a fixed number of days. If your trip runs longer, simply buy a new plan — it is the same two-minute purchase as the first one, and it works from Egypt exactly as it does from home.

  1. Open the plans page and pick the duration you still need.
  2. Pay by card. The QR code arrives by email within moments.
  3. Install the new eSIM profile and switch to it when the previous plan ends.

You can keep both profiles on the phone; most dual-SIM handsets allow several eSIMs installed with one active at a time.

Current plans

All plans include unlimited 4G LTE data on Egypt's local networks: 1 day €6.50, 3 days €18, 5 days €26, 7 days €33, 10 days €36, 15 days €46, 30 days €86.

Keep your number for calls and SMS

eSIM Égypte carries data only — it does not include an Egyptian number, calls or SMS. Keep your usual SIM active alongside it and you keep your own number for calls and texts, while the eSIM handles data. WhatsApp, Signal and Skype calls work over that data.

How do I extend my plan if my trip runs longer?

Buy a new plan on the plans page and install the new QR code. Purchase works from inside Egypt exactly as it does from home, and takes about two minutes.

Do I need an account to buy again?

No. There is no account and no app. You enter your email at checkout and the QR code is sent to you.
