Hi
I will be moving to Dubai in a month or so, and since i am addicted to my iPhone, and it pulls emails all day (part of my job, and I refuse blackberries), I need a data plan.
I read through this forum, and was shocked by the way Etisalat treats GPRS connections, and that you (soon we) are charged an arm and a leg for every KB.
I wrote an email to Etisalat, you can see it quoted below. What is your oppinion? Is he/she right, or just doesn't know the deal yet?
Thanks,
Ben

Subject: GPRS Data Package
Dear Etisalat,
I will be moving to the UAE next month and I am a heavy Data user. I have a phone with no 3G network, and I am wondering if you have any GPRS packages. I saw your 3,5G packages, if I subscribe to one of those, will I be able to use them for GPRS?
We have a company account with Etisalat inDubai, if that makes any difference,
Thank you very much, with kind regards,
Myname
