This is the new e-Go device from ZAIN. It is said that it’ll have a flash memory built into it and some other stuff. I love how small it is! I’ll keep you updated once I learn more.

Thanks Hamad.

As Ahmad said in my previous post, Zain is now offering an option that if you backup your contacts with them and re-download them they will be auto converted to the new assigned numbers without any headache.

The Subscription will cost you 1.5 KD/mo and you can subscribe by sending B to 99509

For more details about their new subscription you can read it HERE in Al-Watan newspaper.

Thanks Ahmad.

As of today Zain and wataniya have added an 8th digit to all their subscribers.

UPDATE 1:

I just found that i posted about it long time ago with more details, click HERE

UPDATE 2:

For those who are wondering how to update their contacts, Q8Ba7th has done a great program that will update your contacts automatically. Click HERE to download it.

I just saw VIVA’s logo on today’s newspaper. I like the name.

Thanks loco.

Who copied from whom? who came up with it first? I don’t get it. all I know is that they are almost identical!

My phone is starting to fall apart and this little piece (above) falling out is definitely a sign to move on and get a new one. I liked the phone coz it was simple, easy to use and needed nothing more than a charge every 2 days. But now I’m thinking of buying something with more features and you know more features always mean bulkier. I have little knowledge when it comes to mobile phones, and right now all I know is that I need a change and something different from the mobile types I’m used to.

The things I want in my new mobile phone:

1-Great build.
2-A screen big enough to view emails and sites.
3-A mobile made to be used for internet stuff.
4-A good camera would be nice.

Mobiles I’m considering:

-iPhone.
-Blackberry Bold.
-Nokia E71.

The phone I’m most likely to buy is the blackberry, for 2 reasons:

1-The iPhone is too much hassle with the unlocking and version updating.
2-E71 is a Nokia phone. I’ve been off Nokia for years now. They’re inherently cheap.

I don’t know whether I’d enjoy using a mobile as bulky as the Blackberry (or any of the above listed mobiles), I just know that I want something different this time.

These are the new numbers effective on october. From the picture it shows that Zain numbers will begin with a 9, Wataniya with a 6, 2 for the landlines and Commercial lines will begin with 1.

Thanks Abdullah

Yes its true ! Me and wife were shocked when we arrived in Dubai, Starting from the airport to everybody in this country is seeking a taxi! 2 years ago when I came to Dubai this problem didn’t exist! Yesterday when we were in Burjuman me and wife waited for almost an hour just to take a taxi.

I’m in the second plane right now waiting to take off to Muscat. I was thinking that Qatar airport was a little bit bigger, but still its better than ours.
