Questions

Is a plan enough if diving days have no signal at sea?

Reefs often have no signal. The plan is for the hotel, town, and maps between stops.

One plan for Cairo and Sharm?

Yes. An Egypt plan covers the capital and the Red Sea.

When should I install an eSIM for Egypt?

Install the eSIM from the QR code on Wi-Fi before you fly. Turn the data line on after you land. The plan card says when the validity starts.

Can I use a hotspot with an eSIM in Egypt?

Raqoon plans usually allow a personal hotspot. Turn on the modem for the eSIM line in the phone settings.

Do I need a passport to buy the eSIM?

You do not need a passport to buy on the site. The QR code arrives in your account and by email after payment.

Do I have to change my home number?

No. Your home number stays for calls and SMS. Data goes through the eSIM.

Can I get a refund?

Yes, a full refund until the eSIM is installed. After installation the plan cannot be returned or exchanged.
