I am a new resident in Bahrain and would like to get me an internet simcard like you get in Saudi. I hope someone can help me by giving advice on what is the best, fastest and most cost effective network in Bahrain? Also are there unlimited packages available like in Saudi?

Thanks in advance

Thanks. I have been told VIVA is best on Reef Island. But I notice compared to Saudi it is very expensive

you beat me to that one Lindochka!

I don't have mobile Internet at the mo, but if I needed it, I'd go with Zain's Dangerous.

I pay around 8 bd per month for Internet + 1 a week for calls with VIVA but with ZAIN it's just 4 a month. And you don't have to go to a ZAIN. It's like a drug dealer sim
