Currently there is no plan from either Qtel or Vodafone that allows any sensible use of data on the iPhone (or other phones, for that matter).

This issue was raised to the Vodafone CEO on QL itself, and he promised that "data bundles" are coming; and he sounded like they will be somewhat reasonable (hmmm... hmmm.. and hmmm..) !

Until then, maximize the use of WiFi for your data needs. If Vodafone comes up with a reasonable plan, that will cause many more people to switch. Is QTel listening to this ? ;)
