"Vodafone Egypt" expressed its apology to users affected by the network outage, and announced its intention to submit a proposal to the Telecommunications Regulatory Authority to compensate affected customers once 4G services are fully restored — in appreciation of customer trust and the company's commitment to providing the best services.

This was in application of Clause 18 of the licenses granted to the company, which relates to the level of service quality.
The Authority also issued a directive to telecom companies requiring them to compensate affected customers in accordance with the general compensation rules established by the Authority to protect user rights in the event of service disruptions.
Before that, it happened on April 26, 2024
Vodafone Egypt leads the mobile market in the country, with a total subscriber count exceeding 40 million. It also leads the e-wallet sector with a total of 12 million subscribers.
