Telecom Egypt board approves 2G, 3G mobile services deal with Etisalat Misr

Telecom Egypt’s board of directors has approved Tuesday the national roaming and international voice calls agreements signed with Etisalat Misr.

Telecom Egypt signed earlier in May a five-year agreement to provide 2G and 3G mobile services through Etisalat Misr.

The company concluded last April a memorandum of understanding with Orange Egypt for TE’s infrastructure transmission services for 2.5 billion Egyptian pounds for five years, starting from 2018.

Telecom Egypt, the state’s fixed-line monopoly, was the first company to buy a 4G licence from the government in August for 7.08 billion pounds to enter the mobile market directly.
