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?
