★★★★★
Quick qr setup and good data in Abu Dhabi
setup took less than a minute from the email qr code, didnt even need an app. Took the train from Dubai towards AUH and the conection on Du didnt drop once. so much better than paying $12/day for my home carrier roaming!
★★★★★
Keine Warteschlange am Flughafen DXB, super einfach
Hab den QR Code schon abends vor dem Flug in 30 Sekunden gescannt. Hotspot für Laptop und zweites Handy lief in Dubai und Abu Dhabi ohne Probleme. Viel günstiger als Roaming, klare Empfehlung für United Arab Emirates!
★★★★☆
Worked well at DXB airport, way cheaper than roaming
Signal around DXB and downtown Dubai was rock solid on Du all week. had a short 4G LTE fallback outside Abu Dhabi yet Du stayed connected the whole trip.
