Dubai roaming... how much??!!

[dreschan]

Dear all… im going to Dubai next month, want to get some advice here regarding the roaming....
which roaming services should I get and got it's in the Middle East???
Or should I get a data roaming plan at Dubai there when I arrive is cheaper or I sign it here is cheaper?? Pls help...

If you are staying there for a long period ( 1 week ++ ) better buy their prepaid. if its for a short while just be prepared for RM2.00 per sms transaction (coming in n out), 90cents per-minute (better check with ur telco for rates). Last time CELCOM offered me RM30 per day for roaming data plan. i found it too expensive if it just involve checking FB, or short emails. me go for WiFi

Cheers

different telco have their package...if u need to receive call from msia when u r there, stay with yr current telco and buy their package for roaming n broadband...if not, go there buy their phone cards....

If able to get WiFi there, use Viber or What apps with your smart phone......

Wow only rich ppl only go to Dubai hahahah!
a word of advise…
better turn off ur data roaming when u are there or else when you come back!
your mobile bill freaking expensive , more than your trip!
later don't cry ok heheh

Yup, agree. If you are on Postpaid, the data roaming will just run on it's own. My colleague while in China forgot to switch off the data roaming and incur additional RM1k for nothing.....

 

[adlans]

RM1k is nothing compare to my collegue. RM11, 349.90 !! as he use it to reply a few very important email. Lucky his company paid up that bill.

No need laa to update your FB everytime beb.

Cheers

Good for him as he did not have to pay a cent, my friend got to foot the bill himself.....

 

[titipoh]

All these depend on u lah… how long u will be away and the usage..
This is my experience when I go Bahrain last time.. That time I still using my previous telcon and guess what when I arrived there… they said this telco is not their partner, so cannot activated woh....
So now im using the Celcom Unlimited Data Roaming whenever I go oversea lol..

 

[vr2turbo]

Wah! Unlimited.......
