Etisalat UAE customers can earn 1MB of free data for every second spent on eligible local calls under a free 30-day promotion.

Etisalat UAE has introduced a promotion that rewards customers with free mobile data simply for making eligible local calls.

Under the offer, users receive 1MB of free data for every second of a local call, providing an additional benefit for customers who regularly use voice services. Opting into the promotion is free.

How the free data offer works

The promotion remains valid for 30 days after activation.

Free data is credited to the customer’s account at the end of each eligible call, meaning users do not need to wait for a daily or weekly reward cycle.

The data earned from calls remains valid until midnight of the following day, so customers will need to use the allowance relatively quickly.

Not all calls are included

Etisalat has clarified that certain call types do not qualify.

Calls made to 800 numbers, premium numbers and emergency numbers are excluded from the promotion.

Customers can check their available free data by dialling *101#, using the Etisalat UAE app, or through FiveSIM.

One-time promotion only

The offer is available as a one-time promotion and will not automatically renew once the 30-day validity period ends.

This means customers who activate it should make the most of the benefit during the promotional period.

For example, an eligible local call lasting one minute would theoretically generate 60MB of free data, based on the stated rate of 1MB per second.

Voice calls meet mobile data

The promotion effectively links two core mobile services by rewarding traditional voice usage with additional internet allowance.

For customers who make frequent local calls, the structure could provide a useful short-term data boost without requiring an additional purchase.

Impact to expect

The offer could particularly appeal to customers who rely heavily on local voice calls while also using mobile data throughout the day, giving them an extra incentive to stay within the Etisalat network.
