I've heard that all banks in UAE charge 40AED/month on any kind of bank account we have with them.Is it true?I think it's very strange.What If we just open an account and dont' deposit any money,or withdraw the money from ATM right away?how will they charge us?

s_kates81

Thanks.But how will they charge us 40 AED if there's no money in our account?Or will they charge it as soon as any transaction occurs?Do we get any interest of what we deposit? minimum balance 5k means just for the time we open the account?or we always have to keep 5k in our account?we can't withdra...

in Thailand it's not practiced.There's no minimum amount with no montly fee.Tht's why I am surprised to know about the banking system in UAE

Actually with local Thai banks this is true but if you try other banks such as Citibank and HK bank you will find such account structures exists - just not popular nor competitive.

Hello,
Can someone please let me know about their adsl experience in dubai/sharjah?What about the speeds?what are the tariffs and how wide it is available?Does it also pass from Emirates Proxy?what are downloading and uploading speeds?

s_kates81

what about the downloading speed ? does it reach 120kb/s ?

s_kates81

are there any monthly volume UL/DL limits?I just checked the etisalat website and their adsl for businesses named BIZNET has VOLUME CAPS.I wonder if the same exists for Al-Shamil too.

BTW for the cheapest biznet line,the monthly volume cap is 2GB.

s_kates81

I think he meant 170Kb/s max. on a 1 MB line though.Not the MAXIMUM for any speed.for a 2MB line ,the download speed must be around 270-300Kb/s I think.
What about the bittorrent speeds ?Did someone check it?

s_kates81

emirates one off course

as far as I've known,all etisalat internet connections are censored (proxied).

s_kates81

why don't give it a try to download p<3n by bittorrent?

s_kates81

What's the best kind of company with least hassles and minimum fuss?Which can provide us 2 or 3 residence visas and which is hassle free and cheap to operate !

s_kates81

It's english mate.Not thai.

Search the word Bittorrent from Google and you will know what's that.

s_kates81

you still haven't understood what Bittorrent really is.Anyways here's the link to explain Bittorrent for you and all others who don't know about it yet.

Well I am also not that worried about pornsites being censored as I never visit them too.For me,I would only say Bittorrent rulez.

s_kates81

I just wanna know which is cheapest,easiest and hassle free kind of company to form in UAE,which we can get 2 or 3 residence visas?If someone knows,please let me know.
P.S.I already asked that question in business forum,but there seems least people to visit.

s_kates81

hello guys, I checked it on etisalat website but i couldn't find any information about how their postpaid connection charges/min.?are there any monthly packages available?what about the sms and Gprs charges? And please let me know the gprs charges /kb of Al Wasel prepaid connection too.Thanks :D

s_kates81

Isn't the GPRS is priced outrageous 1fil/1kb ------> about 11 Dirham/1MB
that's outrageous extremely extremely expensive

s_kates81

sad to hear that.I wish may God give u patience

s_kates81

some of their charges and charges thinking approach seems to me insane.Will there be a day in UAE's history that they will have another operator competing etisalat?I don't think so.

s_kates81

why don't try to find language learning software or cds or learning online?I think it's also a great way to learn if you don't have access to good language school or institute !

s_kates81

what a dangerous flirt he is !

s_kates81

it's strange why most of the european world and americas don't play cricket
