UAE’s leading telecom operator Etisalat has unveiled a special daily local calling package for its Wasel prepaid customers starting as low as Dh1 per day.

The daily bundles come in three flavours to address the needs of both low and high usage customers: Dh1 for 5 minutes; Dh2 for 10 minutes, and Dh4 for 30 minutes.

The minutes can be used to call any mobile or landline number in the UAE, saisd a company statement.

Under the new package, Wasel prepaid line users need to subscribe only once, and their preferred bundles will be renewed daily upon making the first local call of the day. There will be no charges on days subscribers do not make local calls, which is convenient for customers especially while travelling abroad on business or vacation.

Local calls made on Wasel prepaid lines beyond the bundled talk time will be charged at 0.6 fils per second starting from July 1, while the rate for customers on old tariffs will be 36 fils per minute.

Etisalat said the new Wasel local calling bundles give customers the opportunity to make the most of UAE’s leading mobile network for their everyday calling needs at prices as low as 20fils for the Dh1 and Dh2 bundles, and less than 13.3fils per minute for the Dh4 bundle.-TradeArabia News Service
