Telephone and Volts
 
Hi,

Just wondring about the phone bill Did they charge per call like in UK or is it a same general charge like in North america? Also We have 110 volts here and I think in Dubai they have 220 volts like UK.My question is how the hell I am going to charge my laptop and my cell phone?

Get a step down transformer - or a new phone and laptop.

All local calls are free on landline - all other calls charged at different rates.

I would suggest that you check on both your phone and laptop chargers, many although they have North American 110v plugs on them, they will operate from 100-240 volts so all you need is an adapter, i use my chargers from Dubai in the US and they work fine.
