@kevb use a local SIM or WiFi only and keep phone on airplane mode.
Data is over £7 a mb!

@kevb Best thing to do to ensure you don't connect to any service in Egypt is to remove your sim and put it in a safe place until you return to the UK. You can use FB Messenger and WhatsApp over WiFi which won't cost you anything. If you plan to use a local sim, make sure your phone is unlocked before you leave.
