UAE-based top telecom provider Etisalat has launched a roaming pack exclusively for its mobile post-paid and prepaid customers, offering unlimited data and voice roaming for Dh400 ($109) per week.

The new Saudi unlimited pack, valid for seven days, offers value for money with bigger savings on calls and data usage due to very high data and voice allowances for receiving calls, and making outgoing calls to Saudi Arabia and UAE.

Khaled Elkhouly, chief consumer officer, Etisalat, said: “At Etisalat, we understand the value of staying connected with family and friends while travelling abroad. We are pleased to give both our valued post-paid and prepaid customers an unlimited but affordable roaming pack catered to those travelling to Saudi Arabia.

“Mobile connectivity is an integral part of overseas travel and we want to ensure a hassle-free travel. Customers don’t need to wait in long queues, purchase local SIM cards or depend on Wi-Fi passwords to stay connected.”

Fair usage policies apply to this plan to ensure superior service levels to customers with normal usage behaviour. Data allowance will be 25GB at full speed and unlimited usage at reduced speed, and voice minutes at 2000 minutes for receiving and making outgoing voice calls to UAE and Saudi Arabia. Voice calls beyond the fair usage limit will be charged at the regular standard rates. – TradeArabia News Service
