AmyH after the medicals you will receive your advise to resign (if applicable), and after the Final Approval.
The e-ticket and visa will be sent a week before the DOJ, and I think in the same week we will find out about the accommodation.
I also got the same problem, i have got an iphone4 here in the Uk, but i don't think EK provide a sim card, you will have to do it yourself...
Just make sure you get an adaptor for the microsim card
