honestly all i know is the cost for the blackberry, which is aed 130 per month for activation and then u will have to buy top ups every now and then, and that is with du, (national blackberry activation, international activation cost aed 260)
with etisalat is costs more.

for intenet and tv, try du.ae or etisalat.ae.
they have some deals on at the moment so find out with the building is with then see

hihi, just been here 2 weeks myself
we are thil etisalat, went with one of those bundles , net, phone and tv, net is quite expensive!!

mobile phone, think the du mobile for blackberry is cheaper/ slightly better for bbm etc, depends on emails and usage , just check the websites

I am still on tesco mobile bbm, costing me 5 quid a month only so currently walking around with 2 phones , 1 uk bbm, and 1 local phone

yea i had my t-mobile sim in up until last sunday, and for that i only paid a fiver for, for the month so i was happy, when it ran over in to the second month they started charging me for the internet usage on the blackberry so that was taking my credit every 2days (not happy)

now thankfully i'm on du network which is really good and u get all of the blackberry package, instant message, email,internet, social blah blah blah
