Using the app is beneficial for people who use small internet packages. As they may incur some charges for dialing the code, with the help of the app they can always keep track of the amount of data remaining in their package. If you have any problem with the subscription of packages, or data is not working, you can call 101 and get it resolved.

Etisalat offers a variety of data packages for prepaid customers, available in the Etisalat Home Internet section. If you’re a light internet user or have a small data package, it’s important to monitor your balance regularly.
