UAE-based telecom group Etisalat has launched its new global business roaming packages, offering incoming voice as well as data for its frequent international business travellers across 90 countries and over 180 operators.

The roaming packages are the first of its kind, offering unlimited roaming add-ons for business travellers and providing them with the flexibility to choose from daily or monthly options with their existing Etisalat business mobile plans.

The new launch includes Etisalat’s Global business roaming packages, especially the unlimited global data roaming package, which starts from as low as Dh35 ($9.5) and unlimited voice roaming packages for as low as Dh95.

Salvador Anglada, chief business officer, Etisalat, said, “We recognise the international global reach of UAE-based businesses and will therefore, continue to respond to the growing demand for wider, innovative and cost effective business roaming options for our customers. Etisalat’s portfolio of business roaming packages and coverage is currently the widest in the country providing seamless connectivity to empower the UAE businesses to engage confidently with the world.”

In addition to the unlimited roaming packages, Etisalat offers attractive allowance-based packages to meet customers’ varying travelling needs. These include 100 incoming voice minutes for Dh15/day, 1 GB data for Dh250/month and 3GB data for Dh 400/month.

All packages are available either on a daily or monthly recurring basis. Validity of the daily packages starts from customers’ first usage abroad, which allows users to pre-book and reserve the packages before commencing travel at no charge. The packages will be auto renewed only on travellers’ subsequent usage, saving customers the hassle of having to re-subscribe each time they want to receive calls or use mobile data while roaming.

An additional built-in feature of the service facilitates a lock on roaming service on Etisalat’s preferred partners. It helps avoid bill-shocks for customers by restricting customer’s data usage on to non-preferred operators accidentally. – TradeArabia News Service
