Etisalat sop for fixed-line customers

ABU DHABI — Etisalat has extended the benefits of its popular ‘Favourite Country Plan’ to its fixed line subscribers around the UAE. With no rental or subscription fees, Etisalat fixed line customers will be able to enjoy 30 per cent discounts on all calls made to one international destination 24 hours a day.

This discount will apply to both peak and off-peak call rates, and will translate to significant savings on calls to most-called international destinations.

The Favourite Country Plan was introduced in June this year for Etisalat mobile customers, with which Wasel prepaid customers enjoy 24-hour discounts of 20 per cent to their favourite country, and post-paid mobile customers enjoy discounts of 25 per cent.

Essa Al Haddad, Chief Marketing Officer, Etisalat, said: “Our customers tend to call one country more than any other. With the Favourite Country Plan, Etisalat actually makes it easier to reach out to loved ones.”

Customers who subscribe to the Favourite Country Plan have the option of changing their favourite country, and each change or cancellation of subscription will attract a charge of Dh10.

Apart from the Favourite Country Plan, Etisalat also offers the Global Friends and Family plan to its fixed line and mobile customers. With this plan, customers will enjoy 24-hour discounts of 20 per cent on peak and off-peak call rates to any three international numbers anywhere in the world. This service is provided with a monthly rental of Dh20, and Dh5 for each change to the selected numbers.

Fixed line customers can simply dial 125 from their phones, while mobile customers — both prepaid and postpaid — can call 125, or sign up by SMS to 1010.
