wblevin Posted November 18, 2008 #2 Share Posted November 18, 2008 We just returned from Egypt - my brother has T-Mobile. He was able to use his phone most of the time when we were on land - a few times it was not great reception though - it was also pretty expensive I believe - about $3 a minute I think. We brought our computer and purchased Magic Jack which worked great when we were in Cairo and had internet service. Hooked it up to the hotel phone and it worked very well - very clear.

ab0si Posted November 30, 2008 #3 Share Posted November 30, 2008 Similar results as the other poster. T-mobile worked almost everywhere. I think it was $2.65/minute. I used it only on the Nile cruise as the hotels I stayed in had WiFi, so I used Skype (for about 1 cent a minute). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
