iPhone 5s, iPhone 5c in UAE - Etisalat, du open pre-orders

Etisalat offering postpaid no-contract plan for Dh225 per month; du yet to announce pricing

UAE telecom providers etisalat and du have started accepting pre-orders for the iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c.

Currently both operators are only offering contract free plans, meaning buyers can only opt to buy a phone by paying the handset price upfront.

The iPhone 5c starts at Dh2,399 and the 16GB 5s is priced at Dh2,749, with an additional Dh400 for every additional storage update of 32 and 64GB.

Etisalat is offering a postpaid no-contract plan for Dh225 per month offering 10GB of internet and 800 local and 200 international along with 200 SMS free along with the package.

This offer is, however, valid for just six months after which normal plan charges will apply.

It is also offering 1GB of internet as a separate package for Dh99 per month.

Du on the other hand is allowing users to pre-book the new iPhone without revealing any pricing strategy for either prepaid or postpaid plans.
