Advice requested on Offer in Jeddah
1) Depends on your life style, as obvious. Point to specifics.
2) Don't know.
3) Visit a mobile company's website and choose for your own. Better go for a prepaid package with a big data allowance.
4) Costly compared to India, normally .55 hls p.m. You can acquaint yourself with cheapest rate once here and through web.
5) You mean you'd be living in your own accommodation. In that case it's not expensive but coupled with your rent it will cross a certain limit. Generally home utilities are cheap but in terms of Riyals, it's expensive than Bangalore.
6) Should not cost more than 500 for 5 years.
Can't search afterwards. Generally it is extended for another year at the end of each term.
