5 easy ways to call your loved ones abroad

Whatever your reason for being in the UAE – work, holiday or a mixture of both, reaching out to your loved ones back home is a priority for most of us, no matter where we’ve travelled from.   Here are five ways you can connect with your loved ones with Virgin Mobile.

A Tourist SIM

  If you’re a tourist in the UAE, the best way for you to connect with your loved ones back home is to get a Tourist SIM from Virgin Mobile. Not only is it affordable, but you can pick it up the moment you arrive at the airport. You can choose from three convenient packages each of which offers attractive allowances for data, local, and international minutes.   And best of all, it’s super easy to sign up!   Read more about our tourist plans

A custom Virgin Mobile plan

  Maybe you’re transferring to a resident from being a tourist. Or maybe you’re a long-time resident of the UAE who wants a customised plan. In any case, you can get a fully customisable mobile plan with Virgin Mobile where you can pick exactly how much data, along with local and international minutes you want.   With Virgin Mobile you won’t have to sign any contracts. You can pay monthly, for six months, or on an annual basis. When you order a plan, we will deliver it to you within just 60 minutes.   Read more about our mobile plans

Internet Calling (VoIP)

  You can also use the BOTIM app to use Internet Calling to call your loved ones back home. If you have the BOTIM app installed on your phone and your loved ones have it installed too, both of you can use it to call each other via the internet.   Read more about Internet Calling (VoIP)

Pay As You Go

  As the name implies, Pay as You Go means rather than relying on a fixed plan, you rely on the amount of money you top up to your in-app wallet to pay for data and minutes. You can also supplement this plan with boosters.   And there you have it. That’s plenty of ways you can stay connected with your loved ones.
