'Favourite Country' discounts now extended to Etisalat fixed lines

With no rental or subscription fees, Etisalat fixed line customers will be able to enjoy 24-hour discounts of 30% on all calls made to one international destination. This discount will apply on 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% to their favourite country, and postpaid mobile customers enjoy discounts of 25%.

Essa Al Haddad, Chief Marketing Officer, Etisalat, said: "We have seen that our customers tend to call one country more than any other, which could be where the majority of their family and friends are. With the Favourite Country plan, Etisalat actually makes it easier to reach out to loved ones. We are happy to bring this benefit to our fixed-line subscribers too, and enable them to enjoy international calling at discounted rates."

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. Revised rates to other destinations and other conditions will apply.

Apart from the Favourite Country Plan, Etisalat also offers the Global Friends & Family plan to its fixed line and mobile customers. With this plan, customers will enjoy 24-hour discounts of 20% on peak and off-peak call rates to any 3 international numbers anywhere in the world. This service is provided with a monthly rental for each change to the selected numbers.

Customers have the freedom to use a variety of interaction channels to set up these services on their Etisalat phones. 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.
