Emirates Integrated Telecomm PJSC : Going away this summer? Get more data with du

du enriches summer experience for its individual and business customers with unmatched data roaming offers

To keep you connected during your travels this summer, du is offering more data for your dirhams when purchasing du roaming data packs for our preferred roaming destinations. Customers who purchase a one week (7 day) roaming data pack of 1GB will receive 2GB for the same price and those who purchase a one month (30 day) roaming data pack of 1GB will now receive 5GB for the same price. These roaming data packs can be used in 78 travel destinations.

'At du, we understand the value of staying connected while travelling, and to add even more accessibility and value when flying for work or leisure, we now offer data roaming to both our individual and business customers,' says Fahad Al Hassawi, Chief Commercial Officer, du. 'We aim to simplify our customers' lives with exciting promotions that provide convenience and affordability. For the first time in the UAE, we are offering our customers up to 5 GB data while roaming! This promotion ensures that our customers' connectivity requirements are met with best-in-class roaming data offers so their summer travel plans run as smoothly as possible.'

The offer is available for all individual and business prepaid and postpaid customers. Customers can now activate their roaming data bundles before they travel from UAE, ensuring immediate connectivity on arrival at their destination from the moment they land. Validity and allowances will only start upon first usage of data in the visited destination.

To sign up for roaming options, postpaid customers can SMS 'data' to 5102 to view the available data bundles. If active for more than 3 months, customers can SMS easy to 5102, to get roaming activated within the 78 destinations, including new destinations such as Brazil, Georgia, Cyprus, Iraq, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kenya and Mexico, amongst others. du offers business users always-on roaming, ensuring constant connectivity and seamless country-specific data roaming irrespective of operator. To activate the service within the first 3 months, customers need to either make a deposit or activate direct debit, followed by a request to activate roaming through our customer touchpoints. We recommend our customers to visit our website to check the destinations and roaming options before they travel.

Prepaid customers have roaming already active on their lines by default. They should have sufficient credit in their 'More Time' wallet, to be able to purchase data bundles and use their phones for voice calls. Activating data roaming is simple, just dial *135*20# for free and follow the instructions on the menu. There is no more waiting in queues, purchasing local SIM cards, or depending on Wi-Fi passwords to stay connected.

Holidaymakers and travellers with active international and easy roaming can take advantage of the unmatched summer roaming offers from 29 June until the end of the summer holidays. For more information about this exclusive roaming data promotion, please visit www.du.ae/roaming.
