The United Arab Emirates (UAE) Telecommunications Authority has recently announced a significant reduction in the cost of mobile and internet plans. This initiative is specifically targeted toward people of determination, also known as specially-abled persons.
This move is part of a broader initiative by the Telecommunications and Digital Government Regulatory Authority (TDRA) to alleviate the financial burden on people of determination. Major telecommunications providers in the UAE, including Etisalat and Du, have embraced this initiative and are offering substantial discounts on their services.
Etisalat, one of the leading telecom providers in the UAE, is providing a 50% discount on various services for eligible individuals. These services include new monthly plans under the Freedom and Emirati Freedom packages, the eLife Family Value Pack, prepaid mobile data packages, and monthly home telephone packages.
The discount also extends to home internet packages for 512 Kbps, 1 Mbps, and 10 Mbps, all of which will be reduced by 50 percent. Additionally, complimentary Internet calling subscriptions for mobile and eLife plans are included in the offer.
On the other hand, Du is offering a 50% discount on Postpaid Smart, Emirati, and Power plans, benefiting the people of determination. Du’s prepaid services also offer an attractive deal where every recharge provides users with bonus credits equal to the recharge value.
These credits can be utilized for both national and international calls, offering added value to the users. However, Du has specified that certain plans, such as the Special Power Plan 500, Special Power Plan 500 Data, and Special Power Plan 1000, are excluded from the discount initiative.
This initiative by the UAE Telecommunications Authority is a significant step towards making digital communication more accessible and affordable for people of determination. It reflects the commitment of the UAE’s telecom sector to inclusivity and social responsibility.
