What is the cost of vitamins, contacts and cell / mobile phone in UAE?
Sep 08, 2009 by taurus55 | Posted in United Arab Emirates
Are vitamins (like a multi vitamin decanter) and contact lens more expensive in the UAE relative to the US? Wondering if I should stock up here before moving there for a year.
Also are cell phones (mobile) attractive cheap there? I have an unlocked phone I could bring with me but if there are nice phone there for cheap I'll buy one there.
Cheers :o)
Vitamins are sold in supermarkets and pharmacies , however for US brands you wont have as to the utmost a choice as in your country ; mostly (the US imported ones) they are Nature Made brand. There are also the health & good shape places that sell them like gyms etc. In some malls they have a GNC store ( mostly they have stuff for committee builders etc).
None the less there are many multivitamin brands imported from other countries mainly Europe which are thoroughly available in pharmacies.
Cell phones are cheap but it can get quite expensive if you want to buy latest PDA / GPS / iPhone / Blackberry models with all the bells and whistles . Hardly a plain cell phone is not expensive here, I've seen them as low as 79 AED but this price is for old monochrome screen models. On usually a good color one with standard size screen and FM radio function goes around 400~500 AED , but I've seen them for 350 in sales / promos. However cell companies here don't give unstinting phones with subscription , but they sell them (top models) on their websites , and usually at a price more than what you can get in the nearby market.
Please be aware the GSM wavelength is different than US GSM , in other words you need to make solid your cell phone is a multi band capable one , otherwise it wont find the cell network here when you turn it on. You will also need a 220 volt charger. (replacement ones are sleazy here).

How can I transfer my data on phonebook in my mobile cell phone to the new one?
Jul 20, 2008 by h_shadmehr | Posted in Cell Phones & Plans
I have many statistics of contacts in my cell phone (mobile set) and some of them are not on SIM card. I want to transfer those data to my new mobile set.
if you have bluetooth or infra red in both old and new st, you can conveyance it via them.
but if you dont have, first put the sim in new set and copy all the contacts to the phone. then erase all the contacts on the sim.
then put the sim in the old cell phone and copy all the contacts on the sim. then put it in the new cell. you can impersonate to phone or have on the sim.
its difficult process. i know. but it is easier than creating all the contacts, isn't it?
