Like back home, here in Dubai, you have the choice between prepaid and postpaid services.
As most people I'm a Wasel (prepaid) customer, as the communication prices are the same, but you don't have the monthly fees as a postpaid customer.
Well that's how it would be back home.....here even having a prepaid service you have to pay a yearly fee of Dhs 100.- to keep phone service alive.
So let me rephrase....your "monthly fees" as a Wasel customer are lower than those of a postpaid one.
