I have the DU pay as you go 1MB BB package..for 50dhs/month I get email, browsing, facebook and twitter....its automatically conected to wifi and I get full browsing...I downloaded the Watsapp but it didn't work ,only drained the phone battery.The DU staff helped with set up. I had another package with DU and had the same problems you describe...this new one has done the trick. <em>edited by cat-trax on 18/02/2013</em>

I went to DU recently as all simcards have to be varified, had to produce ID card to prove it was in my name. You might find they will cancel it as it is in someone elses name. I think Etisalat are doing the varification of sims as well

we lived in the Greens for 6 years and loved it...the only issue we had and the reason we left was a rat problem (within the apt roof space)....Emaar were not interested and when we hired a private contractor they were told they had to leave. Couldn't live with them chewing at the A/C grills :(

My mother told me that I had to eat all my boiled egg then crack the bottom to let the fairy escape! It wasn't until I was telling my son to do the same that it dawned on me this was her way to get me to eat all my egg. Have to say I laughed till I cried when it dawned on me..... sad to say she had died the year before and wish I could have had a laugh with her. Even to this day I still crack the shell at the bottom to let the fairy escape. :)

i did mine last year.......if you have the same uk address as your old licence....fill in the online form, give permission for them to use yor passport details.....sent your expired photo licence back and your new one will be sent to your UK address.:) but its illegal, and if caught you can get a 5k fine!!! stop telling people to do something that its illegal to do. as i said they are looking into these now in a lot more detail. Absolutely agree with you BB2 - DH's licence was lost when we moved from the UK, he has not requested another as it is ILLEGAL to do so, I have mine still (which is not valid) but do not use it. When and if we return to the UK we will simply apply for our licences and there will be no problem which I was told directly by the DVLA (no test to take as we have passed it in the UK many many years ago). What is it with British Citizens, of which I am one, wanting their cake and eating it - either you are resident in the UK and qualify for your UK licence or you are resident in the UAE and you do NOT qualify. .... don't get me started on British expats who are still claiming Child Benefit! I happened to be moving back to the UK at the time so don't spit the dummy...was only explaining the proceedure :\:

Not sure aboutother docsfor a temp contract, I just asked for a reference ,but be aware that if your salary is paid into any bank account yours or a joint one make sure the company don't inform the bank that this is your final salary...my last company(temp contract) did this to our joint account and all our money was frozen even though we had no loans or debt!..all money was held until they had confirmed that.....tell your company to pay your final settlement in cash or not to inform the bank. <em>edited by cat-trax on 21/02/2012</em>

Hi I used to do it for my students...you need to write a letter to the head of the school and one to the Ministry of Education giving the reason your child is having a problem...attach a copy of a recent Ed Psych report with diagnosis and submit to the school...the Arabic liason should then submit everything to the Ministry. You should be aware that your child should have somewhere to go during the opted out lessons...The school might be a bit sticky about this unless they have an option for similar students or you have a shadow or tutor to take up the extra lessons. Hope this helps

You daughter will need the BB service active on the Vodafone sim also, worht investigating the cost of that. i know O2 did a really good PAYG option in the UK. Top up by £10 a month and get the service for free, not sure if its still valid?? I have the BB service with O2 pay and go in the UK..if you top it up with £15 a month you can get all the BB services, e-mail, twitter, FB , data etc
