while I was traveling at Saiudi Arabia . I bought a local SIM card .. so that the cost could be lowered for ..
“where are you now ?” contact between my trip partners.
the one easily got at that time was
Mobily SIM Card. which cost only SAR 20.
and included the credit of SAR20.
not need passport or whatsoever.
it was advised to carry around the passport and the wallet.. ( scared of thief and pick pocket )
however , if you’re paranoid it is enough carry along the photostat copy of said document around.
ok.
for the intenet.
Under ‘SIM Toolkit.”
somehow nexus already having default setting for this.
I had “mobily” ..
It had the following setting as default .is my Nexus One ..
but it is NOT working for internet access..
I believe this is for MMS .
then for the WEB1 .. i think this one for WAP and Internet.
BUT that is not made my nexus one able to connect to internet.
after poking around with it seeing some config using other phone which was connected almost automatically.
noticed that .. it had the APN as web2 instead web1.
even though from the website of http://www.mobily.com.sa
is still showing to use web1.

Sony Ericsson K700i
Menu ? Connectivity ? Data communication ? Data accounts ? New account ? Add
Select GPRS data
Name: Mobily internet
APN: web1
No User ID or Password
SAVE
Back to Connectivity ? Internet setting ? internet profiles ? New profile
Fill these information:

Account name : Mobily internet ? in new PS data
Fill these info :

[/slider]
so I just need to change the APN to “web2” instead of web1.
and rebooted the phone once.
(my phone was on airplane mode before that.. only enable WIFI ..
purposely to avoid international roaming cost unnecessarily)
then.. yay ! connected to HSPDA!
did tried to subscribe the bundled data 30MB ..
but to no avail.. no confirmation SMS received at all. I had to bear the basic internet.
which cost SAR 2.048 for each 1MB..
p/s : you might want to turn off the auto-sync of the incoming email attachment..
and the background online data access on nexus. else .. it would drained the SAR 10
prepaid almost instantly.. once.. last only 5minutes.. on HSDPA mode.
because there are some emails which had an attachment is somehow 3MB. each..
and only 3 piece of such email would do.. ;)
Salam,
Thank for the advise. May become helpful on my next visit to the Kingdom in this March.

It’s great to get your kid involved in having some fun while learning some things; it’s also fun
for adults. By dragging the car to move around all the other cars so it can get out of the screen.
Another changes that can lure the developers for Android development are creation of marketplace by creating Google Play store so
it can give some organized way of marketing for Android application development products by eliminating spam apps as well as useless free apps and piracy.
Including many games that appear on the major gaming consoles like the Playstation 3 and
the Xbox 360. You can also select you character that can
fit your personality and interest. If the application works,
good for you but if it does not, do not be dissatisfied.

Quality content is the main to attract the users to pay a visit the web page, that’s what this website is providing.
I was curious if you ever thought of changing the structure
of your blog? Its very well written; I love what youve got to say.
But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could
connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having 1 or two pictures.
Maybe you could space it out better?
Highly energetic blog, I liked that bit. Will there be a part 2?

Hello there! Do you know if they make any plugins to protect against hackers?
I’m kinda paranoid about losing everything I’ve worked hard on. Any recommendations?
My family members always say that I am wasting my time here at web, except
I know I am getting knowledge everyday by reading such pleasant content.
This is very interesting, You’re a very skilled blogger.
I’ve joined your rss feed and look forward to seeking
more of your great post. Also, I have shared your

I really like your blog.. very nice colors & theme. Did you make
this website yourself or did you hire someone to do

When someone writes an article he/she retains the image of a user in his/her mind

my website:
Have you ever thought about adding a little bit more than just your articles?
I mean, what you say is valuable and everything.
However think about if you added some great images or
videos to give your posts more, “pop”! Your content
is excellent but with pics and video clips, this blog could certainly be one of the best in its field.
Superb blog!
