Egypt telecommunications service updates

Overview

Telecom Egypt (WE) established specific billing and payment procedures for landline services in October 2026. The system includes a grace period where full service is available for 20 days, followed by a period of incoming-calls-only restriction, and a final deadline on the 28th of the month to avoid total service suspension.

Concurrently, the Egyptian government directed the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology and the National Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (NTRA) to double the basic landline internet capacity from 50GB to 100GB per month. This capacity increase is intended to support digital transformation while maintaining the monthly subscription price at 150 EGP before tax. Implementation of this change requires technical updates to service providers' accounting systems.
