Are VoIP applications like WhatsApp and FaceTime voice/video calls restricted in Egypt?

It is critical for DataESIM users to understand Egypt's regulatory framework regarding Voice over IP (VoIP) services. While text messaging, photo sharing, and voice notes on platforms such as WhatsApp, Telegram, and Facebook Messenger function without impediment, voice and video calls via these applications (including FaceTime, Skype, and Google Meet) are typically blocked or severely throttled by local ISPs. This is a country-wide restriction, irrespective of your data provider. DataESIM provides high-speed data for all other internet uses, but users should plan for alternative communication methods for real-time voice/video calls.
