Etisalat starts campaign to prompt 'green' bill payments

In line with its environmental objectives, etisalat has launched yet another solution, Pay and Win, to reduce its carbon footprint by encouraging customers to use electronic channels for viewing and paying their bills.

The online services, which allow both individual and business customers to make bill payment for fixed and mobile phones, internet and e-vision, also lets them conveniently recharge and renew their Wasel accounts online. In order to motivate customers, etisalat has announced electronic draws for 100 iPhone 3G devices to be rewarded to participants in a campaign starting from now until April 28.

The initiative aims to create awareness of an important social element, as online transactions minimise the use of paper and transport costs for customers, which in turn has important implications for the nation's environment. Etisalat customers can now use an alternative method that is easy, fast, cost effective and environment friendly.

Customers can participate in this campaign by registering and using etisalat online services on www.etisalat.ae/online. They will then be eligible to enter the draw for iPhone devices upon conducting an online transaction, either through the etisalat website or via mobile payments.

Khalifa Al Shamsi, Senior Vice-President of Marketing at etisalat, said: "We launched this campaign to encourage our customers to consciously participate in an environment-related effort in any way possible, to ensure a greener world for our future generations."
