Etisalat has opened two new shops within the Virgin Megastore outlets in Mercato Mall, Dubai, and Abu Dhabi Mall.

These outlets will serve new and existing Etisalat customers, and open new channels for interaction and service delivery.

Virgin Megastore shoppers and visitors to Mercato Mall and Abu Dhabi Mall will be able to visit the Etisalat outlet for new fixed-line subscriptions, prepaid Wasel and postpaid mobile connections, and Internet connections, said an official spokesman.

The outlets are also fully equipped to provide customers information on services such as BlackBerry, MobileCAM, USB Modems, e-vision services and many more main and value-added services.

Our people at these outlets are fully equipped to consult customers on the services most suitable for their needs, and we are confident that visitors to these outlets will appreciate the ease of building on their relationship with us,” said vice-president, marketing – Consumer & SMB - Etisalat, Khalifa Al Shamsi,.

Open seven days a week, the Abu Dhabi Mall outlet is open between 10am and 10pm, Saturday to Wednesday, 10am to 11pm on Thursday, and 2pm to 11pm on Friday. The outlet in Mercato Mall is open between 10am and 10pm everyday of the week.

Etisalat, the best telecom operator of the year 2007 in the middle east, and Virgin Megastore, the global entertainment leader, announced their strategic alliance covering joint retail and promotional activities earlier this year.

This joint campaign, under the slogan ‘Reach Entertainment’, is the first of its kind in the region, and will see Etisalat establishing presence within all Virgin Megastore outlets in the UAE.

Customers will thus be able to easily access Etisalat’s innovative communication solutions, while at the same time enjoying the unique shopping experience in Virgin Megastore shops.- TradeArabia News Service
