Etisalat's 3G network currently covers 99% of the populated areas in the UAE. " Does 3G network provides upto 7.2 Mbps speed ?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Puneet 0 Report post Posted March 13, 2009 Etisalat does provides great speeds but their plans are useless (read too costly). Check them here Iphone 3G plans Other phones Plans for BB are much more affordable, but you cant use it as modem, its disabled by Etisalat. Today's exchange rate is approx 1 AED = 14 INR Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Puneet 0 Report post Posted March 14, 2009 Not only 3G, Etisalat is costly in all its services. Consider you can call UAE from India for approx Rs 7/min, while to call India from here the rates are AED 2.4/min (~ Rs 30/min) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Asit 4 Report post Posted March 15, 2009 ^^^ Balbir spectrum for 3G services is yet to be given to private operators. Only BSNL & MTNL has got the spectrum for 3G & they are implementing it. So wait & watch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
