Bring an unlocked phone (that uses a normal sim card) with you. You can get a pre-paid (pay as you go) Hala(service name) sim from Qtel in the arrivals terminal after customs on production of your passport. Once you get your RP, you can keep the number and change to Shawry (service name, 30day rolling contract). With regard to QTEL landline and internet, you can get a pre-paid dongle initially, then again once you have a RP you can get QTEL landline and broadband connected. Dont hold your breath regarding how quick they do it though, we've been here for a couple of months, had my Rp for 6 weeks and still havent got broadband. You will have to get permission from your landlord, but this shouldnt be a problem. Hope this helps
