Friendi and Renna are too small
Oman mobile is ok, but Nawras has the best of a bad bunch win on both customer service and coverage

Renna and Friendi are both MVNO's (so using the mobile infrastructure the 2 others)
Renna uses Oman Mobile - who have the most masts and best general coverage.
Nawras have the best 3G/LTE speed in the bigger cities.

Yes, there is omantel shop right at the doorstep of arrival hall as you come out of the custom clearance. They just need an id and that's it,with probably a Local reference address.

Re: Oman Mobile Phone providers
oh well, never mind
when you want to go post-paid, go to Nawras and they will port your number over for you
