How much is an eSIM in Egypt for a week?

The cheapest plan for 7 days or more: Yesim, 1 GB · 30 days at $3.19 (≈ UAH 146). Tutu eSIM 1 GB · 7 days: $3.49.

Which is cheaper in Egypt: roaming or an eSIM?

How many GB do I need for 10 days?

Messengers and maps: ~0.5 GB a day, so 5 GB. With social media and photos: ~1 GB a day, 10 GB. Video or sharing with the kids: 20 GB or unlimited.

Methodology

We take eSIM prices from the providers' official websites once a week, in US dollars, as a buyer from Ukraine sees them, without promo codes or new-customer discounts. We compare single-country plans (not regional ones). If a provider has no plan of that size or length, there is no row.

Operator prices come from the official roaming pages of Kyivstar, Vodafone and lifecell and from the SMS the operator sends on arrival. For pay-as-you-go roaming we convert the price of a data portion to the price of 1 GB.

Hryvnia amounts are approximate, at monobank's rate on the update day. Tutu eSIM prices come from our catalogue when the page is updated.

Questions

Why do you show competitors if you sell eSIMs yourselves?

Because a comparison where we always win helps nobody. If Airalo, Yesim or your own operator is cheaper, you'll see it in the table.

Which is cheaper: roaming or a travel eSIM?

Outside the EU it's usually an eSIM: 1 GB of pay-as-you-go roaming costs hundreds of hryvnias. There are exceptions, such as Kyivstar's travel SIM in Turkey and the UAE; see «Your operator» on the country page.

Will I keep my Ukrainian number?

Yes. The eSIM is added next to your main SIM: calls and bank SMS arrive as usual, and data goes through the eSIM.

How often are prices updated?

eSIM prices weekly, operator prices quarterly and whenever an operator changes its tariffs. The check date is next to every price.

Can I pay in hryvnias?

The table marks it for every provider. Tutu eSIM takes cards of Ukrainian banks in hryvnias, Apple Pay and Google Pay.
