Cost wise, all the operators operate on almost similar pricing. Service wise, app based services such as Virgin and Swyp are better as they resolve issues over the phone or send their executive to your location instead of asking you to visit their stores. Du and Etisalat both have good offers with devices such as latest mobile phones, tablets and even laptops where users can buy devices from them and pay it back in upto 2 years.
