Get freedom of choice with Etisalat’s new mobile data plans and data boosters

The UAE’s widest and most competitive choice of mobile data plans from Etisalat just got wider. Etisalat announced today the addition of two more pocket-friendly mobile data plans for prepaid and post-paid customers – the 3GB, and 10GB plans, offering highly tailored options to meet its customers’ daily data needs. The 20GB mobile data plan, already available for post-paid customers, will now be available for subscription in prepaid.  

Furthermore, to reduce customers’ exposure to out-of-bundle charges, Etisalat also launched three flexible Data Boosters for prepaid and post-paid customers – 100MB, 0.5GB and 1GB. The UAE’s first-of-its-kind Data Boosters are a great ‘in-between’ option to upgrade data allowance after customers exceed their monthly data package allowances. As an example, if a customer subscribed to a monthly data plan uses most of the data allowance halfway down the month, the customer can top it up with a Data Booster. As a result, the customer can enjoy the sum of monthly balance and new booster data, both of which will be valid for the remaining duration of the monthly data plan. 

Etisalat’s new mobile data plans are available at pocket-friendly monthly rates: 3GB for AED 149 and 10GB for AED349. Prepaid and post-paid customers can subscribe to three Data Boosters: 100MB for AED20, 0.5GB for AED40 and 1GB for AED60. 

Both, new data plans and Data Boosters, will be available to customers starting tomorrow (Thursday, 18 September). Subscribing to the new mobile data plans is as easy as sending an SMS - M3G or M10G to 1010 for 3GB and 10GB plans or via USSD *170#. To subscribe to Data Boosters, customers can send an SMS – ADD100M, ADD500M or ADD1G to1010, or via USSD *170#. 

Measures to help customers monitor and have better control over their data usage include an SMS alert that will notify users as they approach their data allowance limit. Customers can also monitor their data usage through the new Etisalat Mobile App and depending on their requirement, they can subscribe directly to any one of the data boosters through the app. 

Etisalat’s expanded portfolio of prepaid and post-paid mobile data plans now includes many flexible options. The packages are the most competitive and in some cases, the only offering in the market.
