When browsing Ennap.com, you may notice that some phones are listed as:
📦 With Activation Fees Paid
📦 Without Activation Fees
What does that mean? What are the differences? And which is more suitable for you?
This article will guide you through everything you need to know, in simple and clear language.
🔹 What Are Phone Activation Fees?
As of 2025, all mobile phones imported into Egypt require a one-time activation fee, which must be paid within 90 daysof inserting an Egyptian SIM card.
This fee is approximately 38.5% of the phone’s value, and must be paid through the official app “Telefoni”.
🔹 What’s the Difference Between the Two Options?
✅ Phones With Activation Fees Paid:
-
Ready to use immediately.
-
No action or registration needed.
-
Often cheaper overall, since fees are already included.
-
Include local warranty in Egypt.
💼 Phones Without Activation Fees:
-
Lower upfront price.
-
You must pay the activation fee later (within 90 days).
-
Requires using the "Telefoni" app and registering the device yourself.
-
Risk of disconnection if fees are not paid in time.
🔹 Real Example:
Option | Purchase Price | Activation Fee | Total Cost |
---|---|---|---|
With Fees Paid | EGP 20,000 | None | EGP 20,000 |
Without Fees | EGP 15,000 | ~EGP 7,775 | EGP 22,775 |
Conclusion: The “With Fees Paid” version is often simpler and more cost-effective.
