The UAE prepaid market is served by e& (Etisalat), du and Virgin Mobile UAE. du's Flexi plan is fully customisable while e& runs the Wasel prepaid family — this page lists what is verifiable from official sources and flags what must be captured live.
du Prepaid Flexi is a build-your-own plan: AED 49 including VAT for 28 days, with components such as 2 GB data (AED 39) plus 30 flexi minutes (AED 10). Flexi minutes cover calls to 99 countries, and you get unlimited calls to one favourite du number. Manage everything through the du App or *135#, with a 21-day grace period to recharge before outgoing services are restricted.
e& UAE's public website exposes product families and dynamic plan cards, but the complete current Wasel matrix is not consistently crawlable text. Rather than inventing prices or USSD codes, we store e& entries with a verification-required status and capture the live plan cards at ingestion time.
Virgin Mobile UAE uses a fully customisable model — you pick your data, minutes, SMS and duration in the app, so there is no fixed package catalogue. The database supports configurable SKUs to represent this.
Out-of-bundle du rates are worth memorising: national voice 38 fils/min (pay-per-second), national SMS 19 fils, international SMS 63 fils. If you roam on data often, compare add-ons before you travel.
