Does anyone have any advice on phone plans there?聽 And what about actual phones?聽 If my phone is getting old, would I be smartest to get something new here in the US, or wait till I'm there?
Thanks.

Check price comparisons first but also consider international guarantees and check if the phone is locked to a network.
Also, make sure the charge works on all voltages as some in the US might well be restricted to 110v.

Hello, Doug, there are easy monthly installments on phones available with Etisalat and du. Those are the only 2 network operators here. Generally, Etisalat network is the strongest and their prices are competitive.
