Are you in the UAE and wondering how to call your loved ones back home? Wonder no more

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!

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.

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.
