VoIP, Expat Calling, and Pricing Note
Etisalat (e&) prices are generally displayed in AED with VAT included, but promotional bundle value can change by campaign. UAE VoIP policy is different from many countries: WhatsApp and similar internet calling services are restricted, while licensed alternatives such as BOTIM are used.
For Pakistani and Indian expats, IDD bundles are a major decision factor. Compare current Pakistan and India add-on packs directly in e& UAE App before activation because destination-specific offers are updated frequently.

Etisalat for Pakistani & Indian Expats in UAE
With over 1.6 million Pakistani and 3.5 million Indian expats in the UAE, e& (Etisalat) has tailored IDD bundle offerings around South Asian destinations. Pakistan and India are consistently among the top called countries from UAE mobile networks.
Best e& setup for many Pakistani expats is Smart M or Smart L plus IDD Pakistan/India Pack M (250 mins), so you get enough local data and regular calling minutes home at a predictable monthly cost.
e& vs du for international calling: both operators are competitive, while e& is often preferred for broader IDD bundle choices. Always compare live app offers before activation because Eid and holiday promotions change frequently.
