Etisalat Cost: Varies by package Prepaid Postpaid Verified May 2026

Most operators reserve their best deals for the app — Etisalat sometimes runs it the other way, with promotional data packages appearing via *170# that aren’t always mirrored on the website or in the e& app’s standard listing.

Quick answer

Dial *170# to browse and activate, or use the e& app for the full visual catalog.

Why checking USSD first can pay off here

Unlike some operators where app-exclusive deals are the norm, Etisalat occasionally surfaces short-term promotional data packages specifically through *170# — worth dialling before assuming the app shows everything available.

Package types

  • Daily: 1-3GB for 24 hours
  • Weekly: mid-range for 7 days
  • Monthly: large bundles, best value per GB
  • Social: unlimited WhatsApp, YouTube, and similar apps
