Does my phone support eSIM?

Most phones made after 2019 support eSIM: iPhone XS and newer, Google Pixel 3+, Samsung Galaxy S20+, and most current Android flagships. The device also needs to be unlocked from your home carrier.

What does 'unlimited with throttle' actually mean?

Mango never cuts your data. If you hit the daily fair-use threshold for your speed tier, your speed drops to 1 Mbps for the rest of that day. Maps, WhatsApp, and most browsing still work fine. Full speed resets at midnight UTC.

How does refund work if activation fails?

If your eSIM fails to activate within 24 hours of purchase, you get a full refund — no questions asked. Message us on WhatsApp and we'll sort it immediately.

What are your WhatsApp support hours?

We cover 20 hours per day across EU, Americas, and Asia-Pacific shifts. Response time is typically under 5 minutes during business hours. No bots, no tier-1 scripts.

Can I keep my regular phone number active?

Yes. Dual-SIM devices let you keep your home SIM active for calls and SMS while using Mango for data.

Can I pause my subscription between trips?

Yes. Pause anytime from your account — your subscription billing pauses until you resume. No fee to pause or resume.

eSIM for Egypt — Cairo, Nile, and Red Sea

Ride-hail in Cairo, Nile logistics, Red Sea resorts. Install before CAI — city navigation is not the time for SIM shopping.

Cairo is intense in the best way — and dramatically easier with live maps and ride-hail. Nile and Red Sea segments need different expectations for signal.

eSIM gets you out of the airport connected.

Coverage

Cairo and Alexandria urban areas are usable. Nile cruise stretches and desert roads vary. Resort towns on the Red Sea are generally fine in tourist cores.

Plan fit

Africa & Middle East Loop is the regional home for Egypt on Mango. Multi-region trips including UAE should look at Nomad for the Emirates leg.

Practical tips

Offline maps for Cairo neighborhoods before peak traffic days.
Cruise days: download entertainment and maps in port Wi‑Fi.
Keep hotel contacts screenshotted.

FAQ

Can I use European roaming SIMs in Egypt?

Often not, or only at high cost. Get a plan that lists Egypt in coverage rather than hoping EU roaming extends.

Get connected before you land
