Is there anything cheaper than AED 188?

On postpaid? No. The Etisalat Freedom Plan 250 at AED 188/month (25% discount) is currently the lowest-priced postpaid plan by any UAE major telecom as of April 2026. du's cheapest comparable plan (PowerPlus) starts at AED 210/month, and Virgin Mobile's entry postpaid starts at AED 175 but limits data to 20GB/month (not unlimited).

If you want to pay less, prepaid is an option — Etisalat prepaid starts at AED 50/month recharge. But prepaid lacks: free Silver number, bundled unlimited data, roaming, and contract pricing locks.

Why AED 188 is a 25% discount

Contract length: 12 months minimum. You can downgrade to a lower plan after 3 months penalty-free, or cancel early by paying the remaining months' fees. The 25% discount continues for the full 12-month contract term.
