UAE residents can now make free Internet voice and video calls. The UAE's largest telecom operator Etisalat has made its monthly Internet calling plan free for two months, starting April.



"To stay in touch with your loved ones during these challenging times, subscribe to the monthly Internet calling plan service for free in April and May, and enjoy voice and video calls with the supported apps. To subscribe, SMS 'ICP' to 1012. Together at home matters," it said in a message sent to its subscribers.

Those subscribers who have already subscribed to this package will have to unsubscribe first and then subscribe again to avail this offer.
