Will Egypt block the second SIM slot when registering an Egyptian SIM card?
Based on 1 discussion with 3 participants · Last activity: 25 days ago
TL;DR
Results vary: some users only have the unregistered slot blocked, while others report both SIM slots being blocked. In the latter case, Egypt's Telecom Egypt app may charge a tax on both slots.
What the community said
Both SIM slots were blocked simultaneously even though the Egyptian SIM was only in one slot. The Telecom Egypt app (Telephony) then charged a tax on both slots — roughly equivalent to 10,000 RUB.

The second SIM slot was blocked while the registered Egyptian SIM continued to work. The unregistered second SIM was completely inactive and likely won't function without registration.

Some users report that their second SIM slot was not blocked at all. Since most modern phones have dual SIM slots and SIMs typically need replacing after about two years anyway, a blocked second slot may not be a major issue.
