Etisalat Connects UAE to South Sudan

Etisalat, a telecommunications services provider based in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), has now enabled Emirati customers to make calls to South Sudan, which became independent last year.

Customers of Etisalat UAE will also enjoy roaming services while travelling to South Sudan.

Matthew Willsher, chief marketing officer at Etisalat, said: "Opening telecom networks to South Sudan lets our customers keep in touch with their businesses and communicate with their friends or families residing in this newly independent republic."

Etisalat works through partnerships with 650 global networks.
