Etisalat’s 1-Day Data Package Daily Plans
As the name suggests, Etisalat’s Everyday Data Packs are designed for daily use. With these plans, prepaid subscribers no longer have to worry about staying connected 24 hours a day, seven day a week! This is because these plans are available for “auto renewal” without the need for manual activation each time.
Etisalat’s Everyday Data Packs come in daily (1-day), weekly (7-day), and monthly (28-day) plans. For this particular article, though, we will focus only on the company’s 1-day data packages.
Features of Etisalat Everyday Data Packs
As mentioned earlier, Etisalat’s Everyday Data Packs cater to prepaid subscribers. Data allowances are credited daily and “reset” at midnight, regardless of how much data you consume for the day. Even if you consume less than the daily data allowance, the remaining “balance” cannot be rolled over to the following day.
As soon as the data allowance for the day is completely used, the data will be stopped. Nevertheless, multiple subscriptions are allowed. What’s more, the prices for these packages are already VAT inclusive.
Benefits of Etisalat Everyday Data Packs
What can you expect from Etisalat’s Everyday Data Packs? Here are some benefits:
- 24/7 Connectivity. You can be assured of continuous Internet connectivity using mobile data… even if there’s no Wi-Fi around!
- Fast Internet. These data packs come with full-speed Internet connection.
