Are WhatsApp and FaceTime calls blocked in Egypt with CheapESIM?

Updated April 22, 2026

It's important to understand Egypt's regulations: while CheapESIM provides reliable data, VoIP (Voice over IP) services are subject to restrictions. You can send messages, photos, and voice notes via apps like WhatsApp, Messenger, or Telegram without issues. However, voice and video calls through these applications are often blocked or severely throttled by local providers, regardless of your eSIM. This is a country-wide restriction, not specific to CheapESIM. We ensure you get the most data for your money, but advise planning for this limitation on calls.
