Etisalat, last week launched the interactive touch screen 'Smart Service' machine to sell new activated prepaid SIM cards, which is a first in UAE.
According to Etisalat, the automated innovative machines will enable customers to buy SIM cards within minutes with an in-built ability to verify the Emirates ID. The operator will initially be selling prepaid SIM cards via the machine, with plans to sell postpaid and introduce services such as SIM Swap (SIM replacement) and SIM re-registration in the near future.
Etisalat will be unveiling the first unit of the machine at its office located at Al Kifaf in Dubai and will be adding 20 machines across the UAE in Etisalat business centers, airports and malls by year end.
