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,

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

As far as I know your iPhone's EDGE service data is included in the 3G packages, for example the 10GB/m for AED460/m. And isn't that what their reply says?
