Abu Dhabi: Etisalat announced the launch of the UAE’s first ever unlimited daily and 100MB weekly data plans for new and existing Wasel prepaid mobile customers. The new plans, which will be available from today, give more choice and control to mobile Prepaid Internet users. The newly-announced plans are priced at a daily rate of Dh5 for an unlimited data plan and Dh20 for a generous 100MB weekly data plan.

Etisalat has also reduced the monthly plan and pack charges to a lower monthly rate of Dh99 instead of Dh145 for 1GB data and Dh249 instead of Dh295 for 5GB data. Data usage out of bundle rates for 100MB weekly or 1GB/5GB monthly plans are Dh1/1MB.

Designed for customers who want seamless data usage, each of the daily, weekly and monthly prepaid data plans provide customers with auto-renewal feature to save time and effort. Once the initial subscription expires, automatic renewal will occur from the next time the customer accesses the Internet.

Khalid Al Khouly, Chief Marketing Officer at etisalat, said, “People in the UAE are increasingly consuming the internet using their smartphone devices or tablets for surfing the web and staying in touch with friends or colleagues through emails, messengers or social networking sites. The new price points for the daily and weekly plans make data affordable for everyone to use to their desired content. Our customers can conveniently stay connected and download content throughout the day without feeling a strain on their pockets. We are confident that, with our reliable Internet connectivity across the UAE and now these affordable plans, we are greatly improving the value proposition to all of our customers.”
