Ok guys, appreciate your'll posting on here. After many a sleepless night, finally here is the breakdown.

- EDGE will not work with pre-paid (i.e. Wasel) customers, but only post-paid GSM subscribers.
- If your a post-paid subscriber, on your iPhone the APN is: "etisalat.ae" and username and password are to be left blank. If you enter anything in there, it will be ignored anyways, and so doesn't make a difference.
- Thirdly and most importantly, with Etisalat you need to be subscribed to a Data Package, i.e. the same as the blackberry. AED 185 for unlimited domestic is good, yet still too pricey. With Du the APN is "du" and once again no user ID or password required.

I have tried using it out and my experience with the speed was pretty acceptable actually.
