Final Thoughts
It is not as difficult to load an Etisalat card as many people would imagine. You like it online, through the application, by USSD, or by phone, Etisalat has got you. Personally, I alternate between the USSD and the app, based on my location.
My impression when I began using Etisalat was that recharging could be complicated. However, having tried all four options, I eventually understood that it is one of the easiest processes of all. All you have to do is choose the approach that fits your circumstances.
