T-Mobile Pay as You Go (Roaming Works, but$$$)

[thebear]

Thanks a bunch for the link. Never saw that before. And you are right, it is very expensive. I was topped up at $140.00 and I went down to $78.00 in matter of 9 days, which is when i popped the tmobile sim out.

I have a friend who lives in the States that has a local Saudi sim from Mobily Etisalat and he advised that I check in with the local Mobily store and I can get a cheap post paid package and pay the roaming deposit of 200 bucks and all incoming calls are free (not free due to the deposit, but unlimited) while roaming any where in the world, which is true since my friend would get loads of calls on his Saudi number in the states.

I may look into that.

Looks like incoming roaming in the US from Mobily Etisalat is only free for postpaid customers when roaming on T-Mobile:

Unusual rates, as they are different for each carrier you could roam on. There are some other free incoming countries (UK, Netherlands etc) but not every country is free (examples: Canada, Australia, even UAE when using one carrier).
