re: NEOM JOB DETAILS

Nothing has been blocked for me and I get some ribald clips sent to me! I can do video calls on WhatsApp no problem, either using my own data plan or the WiFi.

re: NEOM Community Thread - for all questions about living at NEOM

It will be unlikely you are in NC1. New starters are going into NC2 or hotels in Duba. There are people being placed in the hotels now as there is no space at NC2. They are building out though so...
