Etisalat has introduced a new monthly post-paid and prepaid mobile data package for customers seeking to use the recently launched ‘Hemayati’ mobile app that tracks children’s location and movement for protection and safety reasons. A single ‘Hemayati’ data package subscription of AED 49 per month from Etisalat can be used for all family members.
The new Hemayati mobile app was launched by Ministry of Interior (MoI). It helps parents track their children’s location in case of emergencies or for children to send a distress call to their parents when they feel threatened. It also allows parents to install time of arrival and exit from school, and in case of delay, parents or family members are notified via the application.
The application is available for free download in the UAE from Apple Store for iOS platforms on iPhone and iPad, and from Google Play for Android smartphones and tablets. The app can be activated only by parents.
Once the app is downloaded, parents can subscribe to Etisalat’s Hemayati data package by sending an SMS ‘H’ to 1010, consequently adding all family members to the same subscription.
Customers can be assured that their data allowance on the Hemayati data package will only be used while accessing the Hemayati app, and they will not incur additional charges on the package.
Khaled Elkhouly, Chief Marketing Officer at Etisalat said, "The use of advanced technology for family protection and safety, especially child protection, is a commendable initiative by the Ministry of Interior. In support of their new Hemayati app to improve child safety standards in the UAE, we believe our monthly data package for the app will further encourage parents to use it and help protect their children in times of emergency.”
