What to check for your own use
- Coverage where you live, work and travel. Outside Muscat, and in the interior and the south, Omantel's wider reach can matter more than speed.
- Calling Bangladesh. Compare the international packs and minutes to Bangladesh in each, which change with offers.
- Prepaid or postpaid. Prepaid needs no contract and suits most workers.
