Unlimited wi-fi data roaming for travellers launched

Etisalat on Thursday announced the UAE’s first eWIFI offer aimed at providing unlimited Wi-Fi data roaming access, with convenient daily, weekly, monthly options, for customers when they travel abroad.

Through a partnership with iPass – one of the world’s biggest Wi-Fi hotspot aggregator companies with a network of 1.4 million access points across 130 countries – Etisalat will offer travelling customers ease of access and unlimited high-speed connectivity at different places, including hotel and conference venues and global airports. The offer works with both prepaid and postpaid lines.

Subscribers of Etisalat’s roaming packages can avail of the weekly or monthly access pass.

Khaled El Khouly, Chief Marketing Officer, Etisalat - UAE, said: "This offer is another example of our constant innovation that has now helped combine the best of two offers. Earlier this year, we launched the mobile data roaming packages for our customers, enabling hassle-free travel without high mobile data costs. The Traveller Combo enabled subscribers to choose the mobile data roaming pack that is most suitable for them. Now, customers can get unlimited access to Wi-Fi at high speed on top of current weekly/monthly roaming benefits. With the eWIFI offer, customers get added value by remaining continuously connected.

Our constant endeavour is to provide customers three essential features: variety of choice, competitive pricing and ease of use. This offer provides all three requirements with the widest network of hotspots and simple-to-use features like the hotspot finder, which helps customers find iPass hotspots (maps with Wi-Fi hotspots highlighted) easily."

The unlimited and fast Wi-Fi Internet access across iPass network hotspots is available at competitive prices for use on Wi-Fi devices including all laptops and iOS and Android devices.
