My 2 friends who registered online were not at all contacted by MTC. Now MTC denies the website told them they would be contacted by MTC. <MTC tells them they should have bought at that time in the 1 hour. Both friends guarantee this option was not given to them.

He said that for zain postpaid customer its 13 KD and for non customers its 15KD. in case of downloading more than 30 GB in a month, they would reduce the internet speed. 13 KD standard package has a speed of around 350 kbps and 26 KD super package has speed of 7.2 mbps.Getting super package for 12 months would save your 36 KD. Would it be appropriate to compare this 7.2 mbps with the wataniya's 512 kbps? Well, I am not using any of the two! and I am still exploring the sites to get any appropriate package. Can any one tell me, how many devices are there to connect to this wireless net. I dont want to pay any significant upfront cost. If i connect through a mobile device would it use excessive battery or just normal. please guide me about this. I talked to zain representative today.

Everything they do sucks, they just have a huge marketing budget that makes it seem like they don't suck. Frankly i am sick and tired of dropped calls every two minutes. Driving in the car in the city and not having a dropped call, you can forget about it. They should change the name to mooZain. MTC, ZAIN, Whatever the hell.
