You can now buy a smartphone from a vending machine in Abu Dhabi

Because how else would you get a phone in the capital?

Living in Abu Dhabi, we’re used to having services and experiences you couldn’t get anywhere else in the world.

From the world’s fastest roller-coaster to kayaking around a museum and even gold vending machines, it takes some doing to capture our imaginations.

Offering a new service unavailable elsewhere, Etisalat has launched the first-ever self-service smartphone vending machine.

Yes, you read that correctly.

The service allows customers the chance to access and buy a smartphone, at any time 24-hours a day and have it ready to go within five minutes.

A range of handsets are available o customers including Android and Apple phones, all you need is a valid Emirates ID and payment (obviously).

Launched as part of a pilot project with ADNOC distribution, the service is now available at the ADNOC service station on the Corniche.

So if you need a new phone then why not check it out yourself?
