Prepaid Mobile Service For Visitors in UAE
Oct 28th, 2007 by bismut
Pay only AED70 for activation fee and you will get a SIM plus a free AED20 recharge card to use straightaway. That is a mobile prepaid service for visitors to UAE from DU, a new telecommunications service provider in UAE. In UAE, visitors only have two mobile phone providers to choose from. So, I am providing a table of comparison in between package being offered by both company for visitors to UAE.
| Features | Etisalat | Du |
| Start up Cost | AED 90 with free AED35 recharge card | AED70 with free AED20 recharge card |
| Calls to all national mobiles and landlines | 0.50 / min | 1 fils per second |
| National SMS | 0.30 / SMS | 30 fils per message |
| International SMS | 0.90 / SMS | 90 fils per message |
| National MMS | 0.45 / MMS of 50 KB | 45 fils per 50kb message |
| International Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS) to selected destinations | 1.80 / MMS of 50 KB | 180 fils per 50kb message |
| National Video Calls | 0.75 / min | 1 fils per second |
| International Video calls to selected destinations | 3.50 / min | 7 fils per second |
| Validity Period | 90 days-Non-renewabl | 90 days Renewable |
So, by looking at the table, the difference is not much and you can make the choice according to your requirement.
