It's not on the list according to the announcement, but you could always try, your mileage may vary though. That is if you're referring to the current free giveaway minutes, I'm not sure about the addon for long-distance that you can purchase itself.

Edit: cleaned up grammar ect.

@ofaltas - sorry, that country is not listed in the addons. Have you tried it by any chance?

Do you know someone else with a cell or landline you could use their service on?

You have unlimited texting available. Can you text the person, and maybe they can call you?

EDIT: you could try this method if interested: https://www.g3telecom.com/long-distance/call-egypt-rm

@ofaltas not with PM.

You can buy Long Distance calling calls from convenient stores. Their price is ok and fairly easy to use

this is an example (but you can buy the card in store)

According to what others said they simply don't offer that, you'd need to purchase a calling card or use a service like Textnow or Fongo.

@ofaltas....not available using Public Mobile add-on. Best is to get an Egypt calling card at one of the local 711 or London Drug stores. Probably avialable in more stores too.

If you have the More is Merrier long distance 500 minutes of calling add-on...give it a try. It might work and you won't be billed anything extra.

Let us know if you succeed.

Thank you for providing this link.

I can try using Viber.

hTideGnow — Mon, 20 Dec 2021 21:21:29 GMT

Hi @ofaltas ,

Yes, Viber or other Chat programs would work as long as both have the program.

Other programs include Whatsapp, Facebook Chat, etc

@ofaltas : Forget all the apps and fiddling. Just do it old school. Go to a 7-Eleven and get one of those long distance calling cards that includes Egypt. You call a toll free number and then you dial the number you want. Easy. No minutes get consumed either.

If you were to go the app way then I would not want to be stuck with the other end having to use the same app. But that's just me.
