The NTRA has successfully introduced eSIM technology to the Egyptian market, following comprehensive technical testing by all four mobile operators. This innovative solution is designed to elevate the user experience by offering greater flexibility and security. The move aligns with the NTRA's dedication to technological progress, as stipulated in Law No. 10 of 2003, and contributes to the advancement of Egypt's telecommunications sector and digital transformation.
eSIM is a modern technology that replaces traditional SIM cards. It allows users to easily switch between mobile network operators without the need for a physical SIM swap. Moreover, eSIM is more secure than traditional SIM cards as it is embedded within the device and cannot be easily removed, reducing the risk of theft or misuse. This enhances the user experience and improves the efficiency and sustainability of telecommunications services.
eSIM offers unparalleled
flexibility. Users can easily obtain a new number and activate it directly on
their device, or seamlessly transfer their existing number without the need for
a physical SIM card.
To provide comprehensive information about eSIM technology, the NTRA has issued a detailed guide for using eSIM in Egypt.
