How is everyone

Need some advice, i will be in Dubai from 28 December to take up my new post.

Can anyone tell me what is the best webcam program i should be using in Dubai to talk to friends and family back home in the UK. Also any real pc boffins out there can anyone suggest a very good webcam. ( as you can tell i am not comeing out to work with computers.lol.)

Secondly is it cheaper to buy a phone out there and call the UK on a Dubai tarriff or should i bring my UK mobile out and use o2 tarriff( been told it is £1.50 per min using a uk mobile number). I am looking to get a blackberry.

3rd i need a very cheap run about car, to get me from home to work, any ideas where i could get one.


Thanks for all your help with the above, i really apreciate it.

Hi marky

The best webcam program I suggest you to buy is Creative.

Hey Marky

I'm not so technical, but I talk to friends in the UK via MSN. Easy and with a webcam too.

Personally I disconnected my UK phone. It doesn't seem to cost very much to call the UK from a mobile here and I understand it is half price on a Friday. Just get a pay as you go Etisalat sim. Easy to get top ups and simple to use..... even for technophobs like me!!
I have a pay as you go card for the UK too. So when visiting home I have a UK number too.

Have to update you on the car thing. I am just going through the process as we speak. infact got my UAE licence today.
Getting a car is one of the next projects on my list!

Good Luck with everything.
Hapy to help if I can.
