Hello dear Members,

Can you please list some of the main Internet Service providers in Jordan? You may also include the cost related to their Internet subscription.

Another issue related to the telecommunication topic, is mobile plans. Can you please share with us:
>With which operator are you subscribed to?
>How are you finding their services?
>What kind of facilities do they offer?

Lastly, what is the best option according to you to make long distance calls in Jordan?

Your views/suggestions will be highly valued.

Wish you all a great day & thanks you in advance for your participation.

about mobiles
the providers are umnia,orange and zain
zain and umniah i think have most of the market share and orange is usually used by government workers.
i have 2 lines zain and umniah:

zain's advantages:
1-best network signal
2-almost everyone is a user of zain

disadvantages:
1-high prices
2-i tried their customer support and i didn't like it

umniah's advatnages:
1-lowest prices
2-lowest international calls prices

disadvantage:
1-sometimes the network is very poor but its good enough when you are in the city
*didn't try their customer support

i had internet when i was in jordan...and they have this thing called a download limit....which is another way to scam people..i mean i never heard of that in my life until i went there...and if your watching youtube..and want to let another video load up it cuts your speed in half....jordan is still way behind on internet technology...i mean a download limit come on...thats a joke...and they try to make it better by saying after midnight its free....well i dont use the net after midnight so what do i benefit from it...
