How is LTE service in Saudi Arabia? Riyadh in particular.

Planning on getting a new phone. Interested in the S5 but I learned that it does not support LTE so I might go for the HTC M8 if the LTE service is worth it in back home.

I travel allot, tried more than 50 telecom service provider around the world, I can surly tell you that STC 4g/LTE is the second best in speed and coverage after Korea

They have 400 SAR packge with unlimited calls and Internet, you can have that package and open your phone hotspot and enjoy it 24/7 or also yiu can ask for multiple sites card they will give 3 of them were you can put one in the phone one for the iPad and one on home router all for the 400 SAR monthly....

For the phone I suggest that you get LG G3 the best Android phone in the market just released 2 weeks back it's superb

Thanks a lot for the info.

I've been using S3 and kind of got used to the user interface and features. But I think with how LTE is in Saudi, I will have to pick a phone with LTE support.

I'll check out the LG G3.

Thanks

I advise you strongly to go with the HTC m8, have you seen its DOT cover view? anyways, you can't go wrong with Android :P.

I have the dot cover. The spine is splitting and I keep redialing people just by carrying my phone around. The dual-sim M8 is an exceptional phone though.
