Vodafone, We, Etisalat, or Orange Mobile Packages?

Publish Date: 04 Feb 2021

Compare & Contrast

Vodafone, We, Etisalat, or Orange Mobile Packages?

Which Telecom company do you use its package?

“ How long does the 100LE card last you?” this question we’ve heard over and over during the last month after the Company's internet failed due to “maintenance issues”. We all immediately switched to mobile hotspots and then it dawned on us, which operator provides the best value?

 

As usual, we gathered four victims, I mean volunteers each with a different mobile operator.  We asked each of them to charge for 100LE and sat quietly and observed what they got.

 

WE Vs Etisalat Vs Vodafone Vs Orange 

 

When we first started the exercise we found it very confusing, the naming of each company in addition to not all having a basic 100LE package got us initially confused, especially since the value was interchangeable between minutes, SMS, and MBS (that's not even taking into account what you're using the megabytes for).

 

Charging for 100LE gives you the following:

 

  • Orange: Control Plus 70
  • Vodafone:Flex Family 100
  • Etisalat:Demagh Tanya
  • WE:Tazbeet 65

 

So who's cheaper?

 

Orange:

 

  • Package cost: 70LE
  • Minute cost to the same network:2 piasters
  • Megabyte cost:1 piaster

 

Vodafone:

 

  • Package cost: 100LE
  • Minute cost to the same network:2 piasters
  • Minute cost to other networks: 10 piasters
  • Megabyte cost:Less than 1 piaster

 

Etisalat:

 

  • Package cost: 100LE

 

Program 1 (8,000 Megabytes & 400 units)

  • Minute cost to the same network:25 piasters
  • Minute cost to other networks: 90 piasters
  • Megabyte cost:1 piaster

 

Program 2 (7,000 Megabytes & 500 units)

  • Minute cost to the same network:20 piasters
  • Minute cost to other networks: 80 piasters
  • Megabyte cost:1 piaster

 

Program 3 (3,000 Megabytes & 2,000 units)

  • Minute cost to the same network:5 piasters
  • Minute cost to other networks: 25 piasters
  • Megabyte cost:3 piasters

 

WE:

 

  • Package cost: 95 LE
  • Minute cost to the same network:8 piasters
  • Minute cost to other networks: 40 piasters
  • Megabyte cost:0.25 piaster

 

All 100 packages are customed to complete a month.

 

Based on some simple math here’s our conclusion:

 

  • Etisalat offers the best program (demagh tanya) as you can adjust to your individual needs.
  • If you talk more than browse then Vodafone and Orange might be better options
  • If you’re a heavy browser then WE is your choice

 

Some brief information about the mobile network operators:

 

Orange: This was the first operator in Egypt when it was launched in 1998 as “Mobinil”, and was changed to Orange in 2016.
