hello,
which mobile network do you guys recommend.i have batelco and i am at my wits end with that...the data finishes in no time..the add ons and boost are sooo complicated i am sure even NASA stuff is easier..

please guys help.
i need mobile internet for browsing and whats app and occasional calls to INDIA via whatsapp and via mobile..

what do you recommend. initial package and the add ons or boost if any body is using BATELCO..

Or should i just throw away this stupid stuff and get VIVA??

I am surprised. I have a contracted 12BD monthly plan with Batelco which gives me 12-15 GB and I can barely manage to finish it. But then at home and at work, I am on the wifi. Maybe you need to see your usage patterns as that will remain the same whichever provider you switch to.

Agree with XTang, you will need to see your pattern of usage. For e.g watching an hour of youtube video in 1080p/FULL HD should consume about 800MB of data.

When it comes to prepaid all of the major telcos provide the same data/prices, for higher data usage you may have to shift to postpaid. Viva definitely is know for its data packages. You dont need to throw anything you can just port your existing number to Viva.

Seems like you use Youtube a lot. Like logicalindian said Youtube or any kind of streaming sites consume your bandwidth. BTW which batelco package are you using now?
