You send an Egyptian top-up from the UAE by entering the number, picking a plan and paying by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay. The operator is detected from the number, so you do not choose it yourself. The balance usually lands on the Egyptian number shortly after payment.
Egyptian numbers use the dial code 20 and have 10 digits after it. The service reads the prefix and matches it to WE Telecom, Etisalat, Orange or Vodafone. There are 21 plans on this route.
Etisalat, Orange, WE Telecom and Vodafone plans on this route range from small airtime top-ups to monthly Hekaya bundles. Etisalat's New Hekaya Mix 52 gives 36 EGP over 28 days, while New Hekaya Mix 150 gives 105 EGP over 28 days. Some plans show the amount that lands after the operator's tax.
Etisalat Hekaya Mixat plans are the monthly option here. Hekaya Mixat 52 delivers 52 EGP over 28 days and Hekaya Mixat 180 delivers 180.01 EGP over 28 days. New Hekaya Mix 98 gives 68.6 EGP over 28 days.
Orange recharges on this page are listed by their EGP value. An EGP 46.51 recharge delivers 32.56 EGP, an EGP 62.40 recharge delivers 43.68 EGP and an EGP 178.39 recharge delivers 124.87 EGP. An EGP 207.83 recharge delivers 145.48 EGP.
Straight airtime is available too. A WE Telecom airtime top-up delivers 92.4 EGP and a Vodafone airtime top-up delivers 224.7 EGP. An Etisalat EGP 105 recharge delivers 73.5 EGP.
Where a plan is taxed, the receive value shown is what actually lands on the number after the operator's tax. That figure is the one to compare, because it is the credit your family member can spend.
A small top-up keeps an Egyptian number in use when the person holding it is abroad or when family back home depend on it. Airtime and bundle plans on this route start from $2.58, so regular small recharges are practical. The number stays reachable for calls, messages and any service tied to it.
Many Egyptian numbers are kept alive for reasons other than daily calls. Bank alerts, delivery contacts and family group chats often sit on one number. If that number runs out of credit, those services stop reaching the person who needs them.
Short top-ups work well for this. A WE Telecom airtime top-up delivers 92.4 EGP and a Vodafone airtime top-up delivers 224.7 EGP, both without a fixed validity period. For a monthly habit, the Etisalat Hekaya plans run over 28 days.
Egyptian mobile numbers have 10 digits after the country code 20. When you type the number in local form, such as 010 01234567, the leading zero is dropped in international form, giving +20 10 01234567. The operator is worked out from the number, so a correct number is all that is needed.
If you are unsure, ask the person receiving the top-up to send the number in international form. That removes any doubt about the leading zero.
Check the digits before you pay. A top-up goes to the number you enter, and it cannot be moved to a different number once it is sent.
You pay from the UAE by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay, and prices on this route start from $2.58. The operator is detected from the number, so there is no separate network to select. The amount that lands is shown before you pay, including any plan where the operator's tax has already been taken off.
Prices are shown in dollars when you pay from the UAE. The receive value is always in EGP, because that is the currency the Egyptian number holds. Compare plans by the receive value rather than the label.
The figures on this page were checked on 2026-10-29. Plan availability can change, so the amount shown at checkout is the one that applies to your order.
