unlocked iphone to UAE

Hi everyone,
I will be moving to the UAE in January and was wondering if I should bring an unlocked IPHONE from the US with me to the UAE. somebody told me that the services provider could block services such as internet if the iphone was not purchased thru them (etisalat and DU?)

thank you.

saviboy, that shouldn't be a problem at all.
If, at the slightest chance, they block your internet, which if ever would be thru 3G/Edge, you can always use your wifi to surf.
