Telecom Egypt is preparing to officially launch eSIM services following approval from the Telecommunications Regulatory Authority.
Telecom Egypt plans to launch integrated SIM (eSIM) services after receiving approval from the National Telecommunications Regulatory Authority. This initiative will officially introduce the service in Egypt by the end of this year, as announced by the National Telecommunications Regulatory Authority and the Ministry of Communications.

It also prevents issues related to SIM damage or loss.
To activate the eSIM, customers must first ensure their phone supports the service. They can do this by checking their phone settings or contacting Telecom Egypt’s customer service at 111. After confirming compatibility, customers should visit a nearby WE store to purchase the eSIM and receive a QR code. Next, they will need to download the line file and connect to the Wi-Fi network. Finally, they must call Telecom Egypt’s Customer Service Center at 111 to confirm their details and activate the service.
