Abu Dhabi: Etisalat today announced the launch of its Roaming Alliance initiative by launching a special rate for its customers roaming in two of its group networks - Egypt (Etisalat Misr) & Saudi Arabia (Mobily).
The initiative is part of a strategic vision by Etisalat to leverage synergies across its group in order to deliver a unique value proposition to its 64 Million extended customer base and enhance the appeal of mobile services to roaming customers.
The Etisalat Roaming Alliance offer will give customers a simple, affordable and transparent rate whenever they roam, taking away the complexity of calculating complex roaming charges.
As part of this Roaming Alliance, Wasel Prepaid and postpaid customers of Etisalat who roam in Saudi Arabia through the Mobily Network & Egypt through Etisalat Misr would be charged a simple flat rate at Dh1.40 per minute for local calls, Dh4.65 per minute for calls back to UAE and Dh1.10 per SMS.
In order to join the offer, customers need to switch manually to the mobily network (Mobily or Etihad Etisalat or 420-03) in KSA and Etisalat Misr (Etisalat or EGY-03 or 602 – 03) in Egypt.
