StickyB,
JUST as I suspected, no access point in Saudi, Emirates or Qatar (probably part of the reason is that you have to use the local proxy "firewall" here) but Oman and Bahrein included.
I wonder if FreeServe in UK would issue you an iPass facility (your email not posted so I don't know if you are with them) as that is ONE of the accesses I use during my travels! Sure would be useful - other than the above Gulf States - an impressive list of countries
