The Unlimited International Calling plan means existing Etisalat can make unlimited international calls to a mobile or fixed line in a country selected from a list of 64.
The plan, which costs AED 150 ($40.84) per month, with subscribers also able to make calls to countries other than the selected one under normal standard call rates. The deal is also not subject to a contract, meaning customers can discontinue or resume the plan at any time.

The new unlimited International calling plan means customers can keep in touch with their loved ones for a convenient price from the comfort of their home.”
