Eitisalat or DU? May 21, 2007
I want a cell phone number but am not sure which company to pick. I have been told that Etisalat is older but I think their internet service sucks.
What are the pros and cons of each company?

Etisalat
Pros
    Good coverage
    Easy access to Al Wasel recharge
    Recharge online
    050 number
    works most of the time
    3G available (mostly)

Cons
    Expensive
    Poor customer service
    Confusing website

Du
Pros
    Charge by the second

Cons
    Poor coverage
    055 number - people still don't get this
    Horrible website
    Tecom quality customr service
    Still expensive


Personally, I'd go with Etisalat until number portability is brought in.

Thanks! I thought DU would be a better horse since it's new but I guess I will have to settle for Etisalat. Appreciate your help.
