Egypt’s Minister of Communications and Information Technology, Amr Talaat, has officially announced the launch of Wi-Fi Calling. This new service enables citizens to make and receive mobile calls using fixed internet networks, offering improved call quality, particularly in areas with poor mobile network coverage or in locations with technical challenges.
Developed over the course of a year in partnership with the National Telecom Regulatory Authority (NTRA) and Egypt’s four major telecom providers—Vodafone Egypt, Telecom Egypt, Orange Egypt, and Etisalat Egypt—Wi-Fi Calling ensures high-quality voice calls in difficult environments like high-rise buildings and indoor spaces.
This service is part of a larger effort to improve telecom services across Egypt, including the construction of over 3,000 mobile towers in 2024 and the expansion of full mobile coverage to highways and rural villages by mid-2025, under the “Hayah Karima” initiative.
Wi-Fi Calling is available at no extra charge, functioning under existing mobile plans, and can be easily activated directly through phone settings.
