I am very disturbed by the leaked Mobily iPhone 3G pricing in Saudi Arabia. You pay $595 (2255SR) with a 1 year contract ($26 monthly) for the 8GB and you only get 199MB monthly data!
UAE’s Etisalat’s offers are more serious as they offer the iPhone 3G 8GB starting at 0 AED (with 1 year contract) and data plans between 500 and 2000MB!
I will wait for actual confirmation on these prices, but with these deals I have no interest in buying an iPhone 3G from Mobily!

I totally agree with you (e7ba6)….
That’s because there is no consumer protection agency, how can you just such difference between us and a neighboring country given the fact that its the same company. The Saudi market is nothing more than a pirate’s cove, where it is up to the seller’s conscious weither to rip off the buyer or not…
But in the case of 0 rate you will pay AED643 for 12 monthes that means
you will pay AED 7716 for a year
if you look at it from another angle its only a sales game
you will pay the same amount other way
and i still think mobliy’s offer is better compered with the UAE offer
but i will wait for a better deal like you
I actually bought it today
It’s only a good deal if you plan on switching to Mobily, I switched my phone number from STC to mobily.
Also the iPhone 3G is unlocked, I tested my other STC card and it worked fine!
