Recharging an Egyptian number from Saudi Arabia takes a few minutes: enter the number with the country code 20, pick the operator plan you want, and pay by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay. The operator is detected from the number, so you do not need to know which network it belongs to before you start.
You can send a top-up to WE Telecom, Etisalat, Orange or Vodafone numbers. Every order is sent directly to the mobile number you enter.
The plans shown cover all four Egyptian operators, with a mix of airtime and bundle offers. Etisalat's Hekaya Mix plans carry 28 days validity, while Orange, WE Telecom and Vodafone airtime top-ups have no stated validity period. The amount you see is the amount that lands on the number after the operator's tax where a plan is taxed.
Etisalat's New Hekaya Mix 52 gives 36 EGP with 28 days validity, and Hekaya Mixat 52 gives 52 EGP over the same period. Larger Etisalat options include New Hekaya Mix 98, which gives 68.6 EGP, New Hekaya Mix 150, which gives 105 EGP, and Hekaya Mixat 180, which gives 180.01 EGP. All of these run for 28 days.
Orange recharges give 32.56 EGP, 43.68 EGP, 124.87 EGP and 145.48 EGP depending on the amount you choose. WE Telecom airtime gives 92.4 EGP, and Vodafone airtime gives 224.7 EGP. There are 21 plans listed in total, so you can pick the size that suits the person receiving the top-up.
If a plan is taxed, the receive figure shown is what arrives after the operator's tax is applied. That means the number gets the amount displayed, not a larger figure reduced later.
If you live in Saudi Arabia and hold an Egyptian number, a top-up keeps credit on the line without needing a trip home. Airtime top-ups from WE Telecom, Vodafone and Orange, and Etisalat bundles with 28 days validity, let you keep the number in use for calls and messages from abroad.
Many people keep an Egyptian number for family calls, bank messages and account verification. Sending a top-up from Saudi Arabia means the number stays funded even when you are not in Egypt.
Etisalat's 28 day plans suit a monthly routine, while airtime top-ups let you add credit as needed. You can send a top-up to a family member's number as well as your own.
Egyptian mobile numbers are 10 digits nationally, such as 010 01234567. In international format you drop the leading zero and add the country code 20, giving +20 10 01234567. Entering the number this way lets the service detect the operator and route the top-up correctly.
The most common mistake is leaving the leading zero in place after the country code. If you write +20 010 01234567, the number will not match the expected format.
Check the operator shown after you enter the number. If it does not match the network you expect, go back and check the digits before paying.
The number you enter is the number that receives the top-up, so confirm it with the person in Egypt if you are unsure.
You pay in your own currency by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay, with plans starting from $2.58. The price you see at checkout is the price you pay, and the operator is detected from the number, so there is no separate network selection step.
Card payments in Saudi Arabia work normally, and Apple Pay and Google Pay are available for a quicker checkout. Once payment is confirmed, the top-up is sent straight to the Egyptian number.
Prices start from $2.58 and rise with the size of the plan. The receive amounts in Egyptian pounds are listed on each plan so you can see what lands on the number.
If a plan is taxed, the amount shown as received is the amount after the operator's tax. The checkout price is separate from that and is shown before you pay.
Prices were checked on 2026-10-29. Send the top-up to the number you have confirmed, because the operator and plan cannot be changed once the order is placed.
Enter the Egyptian mobile number with country code 20, for example +20 10 01234567. The operator is detected from the number. Choose a plan from WE Telecom, Etisalat, Orange or Vodafone, then pay by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay. The top-up goes straight to the number.
