Does a Vodafone Egypt mobile router work when moving between cities?
Based on 2 discussions with 2 participants · Last activity: 20 days ago
TL;DR
Vodafone Egypt routers can be region-locked — moving from Sharm el-Sheikh to Cairo may break internet access. As an alternative, try the Telephony app (Egypt-only), which accepts international cards.
What the community said
The Telephony app works within Egypt and provides mobile internet access. Registration requires a foreign passport, and payment is accepted via local or international cards. Note that the registration process can be tricky.

Vodafone Egypt routers appear to be location-locked. After relocating from Sharm el-Sheikh to Cairo, the device shows 'Connected but no internet access'. Replacing the SIM card at a Vodafone store does not resolve the issue.

Vodafone Egypt's call center is nearly impossible to reach. Store staff direct customers there for router issues, but getting through is extremely difficult in practice.
