"Don't du"

I had recently took on what turned out to be a very foolish endeavor. I put aside my trusty Etisalat phone which I had been using for many years now (almost 14 years) and started using the competition, which claims to add life to life.

I have come to the following conclusion:




I have many reasons for this which I will share here with you:

1) If ever there was something that made me feel like slitting my wrist the proper way (along the vein not against it) while poking both my eyes out with very thin needles so the pain is incessant and long and simultaneously shaving the hair on my head using an industrial chainsaw it's the "ding dong" of the text message I received after EVERY SINGLE PHONE CALL I MADE! Why the F#%*@% do I need to know that I have 900 Dirhams left on my phone? I understand it if it was at a certain limit, but this was just ridiculous!!!!!!

2) If you have a business and really feel like losing it because your clients and colleagues and suppliers are unable to reach you at any point of day any where in town because the network that covers that remote part of the Sahara dessert in Africa with no electricity and cables does a better job at connecting people than the UAE's latest pathetic excuse for a mobile network then get a 055 number. Not only will you not be reached even when your trusty handset portrays a full network coverage, but you will be hammered with text messages from the network informing you that "Last week at 15:42 pm you received a call from this number" And you will get that message more that 20 times. Never mind that the call was to inform you that you had won the lottery and a million dollars which had to be claimed within 24 hours or that your wife was in labor!

3) 15% more on all calling credit. WOOOHOOO! That's of course if you're going to use it within a certain period of time. That would absolutely fine by me since I would use it within that period if I was able to fuc@#%@ing dial!!!! Instead I received all sorts of new and innovative messages informing me that services are unavailable!

and the list goes on....

so "du" yourselves a favor and stick to 050! I know I am from now on...back to my old number!
