The WiFi option allows users to access the internet, browse emails and use their social applications free of charge, at restricted speeds.
Users of Premium WiFi can avail of six hours of high speed internet that can be used over three days for Dhs20, whereas, Dhs50 will buy 20 hours of high speed internet access that can be used over a seven-day period.
Users can just recharge with a du WOW recharge card or use their UAE or GCC-issued credit card to buy credit. A pin number will be required to ensure safety and security.
Both options will enable customers to access government websites and applications at unrestricted speed.
