Leading telecommunications operator Etisalat has launched its first interactive touch screen ‘Smart Service’ machine to sell new activated prepaid SIM cards in the UAE.

The automated innovative machine will enable customers to buy SIM cards within minutes with an inbuilt ability to verify the Emirates ID, said a statement.

At the time of the launch, prepaid SIM cards will be available to customers.

Etisalat also plans to sell postpaid and introduce services such as SIM Swap (SIM replacement) and SIM re-registration via the machine in the near future, it said.


The first machine has been located at Al Kifaf in Dubai, with plans to add 20 machines across the UAE in Etisalat business centres, airports and malls, it added. - TradeArabia News Service
