Getting a SIMcard - Where and price? Dec 31, 2005
I want to buy a SIMcard in Dubai. I know Etisalat is the only one who's offering these. I will stay close to IBN Battuta Mall, can you buy a SIMcard there in some shop? And how much will it cost me?

Thanks & Happy 2006! :) 8)

yea in almost all the mobile shops .. im sure they got it in the batuta mall .. it cost 165dhs for the wasel prepaid card
the only problem is when u get it from a shop an not directly from etisalat it might take up to 24hrs for it to be activated ..

How many minutes does that SIMcard include?
Can I call international calls with it?

If you live near IBN Battuta mall you can get sim cards in Geant the large supermarket or any of the mobile shops. Yes you can make Intl calls, i have costed calling the UK at about 50p or 3.5Dhs per minute. And on Fridays all calls are half price.

Don't forget to take a copy of your passport and visit or residence visa.
