I am in the UK and researched all telephone companys and found Lyca mobile was the cheapest to call Egypt for £20.00 per month i get unlimited calls for that price.

Regards,
Sandra

Why not use any of the internet companies, like Skype or Viber?

Otherwise both Mobinil and Vodafone have a special rate (you have to subscribe to that) of LE 1.99, with a start price of LE 1.5. Valid for calls to all the countries in the world: https://www.mobinil.com/en/help/roaming … 1_99-offer

Thanks a lot ladies.
I bought a estisalat sims, it's not cheap to make a international call. I make hours international calls every day and it's not worth it at this price. You are right, I better go with Skype.

Skype or Viber are the best because you can use (free) internet to call. Otherwise you can buy a simcard from Vodafone or Mobinil, their offer for 1.99 a minute is not that bad.
