As @PandJ2020 indicates, you really don't want to have cellular data switched on after leaving a UK airport.

 

For reference, £2 per day roaming (access to UK data allowance and 'piggybank') only applies to the EU/EEA plus the countries listed in bold below. 

 

The vast majority of global destinations are 'rest of world' rate and consequently extremely expensive.

 

Aruba (Netherlands Antilles)
Austria
Australia
Azores
Belgium
Bonaire (Netherlands Antilles)
Bulgaria
Canada
Canary Islands (Spain)
Christmas Islands (Australia)
Cocos Islands (Australia)

No.

 

Egypt is a 'rest of world' location and will cost you a small fortune if you roam.

 

£2,160 per GB.  (Yes, that's thousands)
