Well.. Zain MiFi vs. Cameo?

Photo By: Soud Al.Awadhi

I got the same emails iLSuL6ana got and posted about few days ago. The email suggests that Zain’s MiFi is a total ripoff with the KD 85 price, plus a subscription for 30 KD?

I’d say: PZZZZZT! WRONG!

It’s 30 KD for the device if you subscribe for a Data package, which is 30 KD/Mo if you do not have a contract in Zain, and 27 KD/Mo if you do. Here’s the thing, a list of features that you cannot find in the device sold in cameo for KD 70:

  • The device is customized to suit Zain’s network and to avoid connection drops.
  • The device is Auto-configured to be immediately connected to Zain’s network.
  • An Arabic interface for the routers’ control panel.
  • A ONE YEAR warranty on the device.

A small calculation:
 
If I get the cameo MiFi for KD 70 + a 35 KD/Mo Premium Data subscription from VIVA (for example), I will end up paying:
 
70 + (35 x 12) = KD 490 for the 1st year.

 

But, If I get the Zain MiFi, It is KD 30 + a 30 KD/Mo Super Data subscription from Zain (for those not having contracts in Zain, and KD 27 for contract holders), I will end up paying:

30 + (30×12) = KD 390 for the 1st year.

 

I think that a KD 100 makes a big difference PLUS the features above!

  2. Hi Talal :)

    1- cameo mifi has connection drops, I have tried it myself and I regreted buying it.
    2- yeah it works.. if you know how to configure it manually!
    3- this is new! when I bought it there was no warranty! check with your people in Hawalli!!
    4- No you cannot.. becuase the type of configuration Zain did required some changes in the hardware itself.. and that involves a special agreement with Novatel Wireless.. not with some “Jabal 3li” exporter, if you know what I mean!
    5- Thanks.. as u have seen above, we got all the information.

    6- sending anonymous email is a bad tactic :)
