The exclusive value program also allows customers to change the screen size, the color or storage size on their iPhone by simply bringing the device back and getting a new one. If the screen has scratches or is broken but is in working condition, a customer can replace it with a new device free of cost.

Through this scheme, customers will have the option to upgrade to any of the 12, 18, or 24-month flexible payment plans at any Etisalat upgrade locations.
