Etisalat offers rapid access to competitive roaming tariffs

Etisalat, the UAE’s major telecommunication services provider, is strengthening its leadership in roaming services by offering competitive rates in 190 countries.
Given the UAE’s status as an international tourism and business hub, there is an increasing demand for competitive mobile and data roaming services.
With an extensive network of 680 international roaming partners, Etisalat allows prepaid and post-paid customers to use their phones abroad without the need for a subscription or deposit.
Khaled Elkhouly, chief marketing officer, Etisalat, said: “Roaming charges are a key concern for today’s well-traveled consumers and we don’t want to toe the line when it comes to offering a cost-effective service. Our roaming offers provide customers with flexibility, simplicity and, above all, cost-saving meaning there is no need to purchase a phone card or subscribe to additional services.”
He added: “We want our customers to have peace of mind when they are traveling and our extensive network of preferred partners ensures they can stay connected with friends, family and co-workers at competitive rates.”
He said: “Etisalat’s incoming call roaming charges start at AED0.5 for the first minute and there are also packages for frequent travelers and data users. Data roaming packages fall under three categories — 25MB for AED25, 100MB for AED100 and 1GB for AED200 — while a traveler package offers 1GB plus 1,000 minutes of incoming calls for AED500 per month.
Customers can take advantage of competitive roaming rates for incoming calls at all destinations, while data roaming offers can be availed by choosing one of Etisalat’s 143 preferred operators in 70 countries.
Etisalat also provides two special offers for the business sector – a group data roaming package and a single number roaming package. Both offers are designed to simplify the subscription process and reduce costs.
