Which is the best mobile network in Bahrain

GuestPoster95685

I use VIVA but tolerate it because they don't have a package that suits me as I am a pretty low data/call/sms user. Their basic post-paid plans are way more than I need and therefore much too expensive. I therefore use pre-paid vouchers and switch on data as (rarely) needed.

It seems because the ME consists of large numbers of local customers who consume huge amounts of data on social networking (much more than European trends) that unfortunately for the likes of me there isn't a market for low level data plans like you find in the UK e.g. 250Mb a month.

If there is something like this in Bahrain, do let me know.

5 GB Data volume
500 Free minutes to all networks
30 min free international calls to several countries like GCC and egypt

the only bad thing about it is that tgey dont give u free SMS  ..i dont know why.

my Friends using ViVa and tgey find it good and fast but tgey told me its kinda expensive
