FAQ
Does my phone support eSIM for Egypt?
Most recent smartphones (iPhone XS or newer, Google Pixel 3 and later) support eSIM. Verify in Settings > Cellular > Add eSIM. The device must be unlocked and not carrier‑locked to another provider.
Should I activate the eSIM before or after landing in Egypt?
Activate the eSIM before boarding — scan the QR code while you still have Wi‑Fi. The plan will start only when you connect to a local network after arrival.
Why is data roaming not working after I land?
You must manually enable data roaming ON in your phone settings. Go to Settings > Mobile Data > Mobile Data Options > Enable Data Roaming. This is required for the eSIM to connect to Egyptian networks.
Can I keep my home SIM active alongside the eSIM?
Yes — set the eSIM as your data line and keep your physical SIM for calls/SMS. In dual‑SIM settings, choose the eSIM for mobile data and disable data roaming on your home SIM to avoid extra charges.
What happens if my eSIM doesn't work upon arrival?
First confirm roaming is ON and the eSIM line is selected for data. If it still fails, check that your APN settings are correct (often set automatically). If the issue persists, contact KodShop support — we respond within minutes.
