Deezer, the global audio streaming service and Etisalat, one of the leading telecom groups in emerging markets, are teaming up to bring prepaid and postpaid mobile users music without any limits. Deezer is now offered as part of ‘Etisalat Youth’ plans.
Customers between 18-29 who choose one of the Etisalat youth plans can enjoy their favourite tunes worry free. Customers who opt in will be able to stream music on Deezer without using their mobile data. Additionally, as a launch promo, they get their first month of Deezer Premium free upon subscription, then it’s charged at AED 18 a month.
Premium subscribers can enjoy 73 million local and international tracks as well as a wide range of channels, compilations and playlists curated by Deezer’s local editors. It’s also the only audio streaming service where you can find exclusive content from Rotana, the largest record company in the Arab world.
Deezer is the only streaming service with Flow, for a mix of old favorites and new tunes. Flow is your never-ending soundtrack of music that’s completely tailored to your personal tastes. And when you’re tired of music, you can easily switch to the Podcast tab in the app and enjoy all of your favourite shows. Here you’ll also find personalised podcast recommendations and 15 different categories to pick from.
Deezer’s premium features and benefits include:
- Downloads, so that you can enjoy your favourite tunes and podcasts even when you have no network coverage
- Lyrics, which lets you look up what a song is saying and sing along wherever you are
- Songcatcher, our in-app feature that identifies unknown tracks and lets you add songs directly to your personal library.
- Dark mode gives our users the freedom to switch from their normal light music player to a dark grey background.
- Curated channels let you explore and discover new music and entertainment content by category and genre. We have over 20 categories of music, news, podcasts, and custom-made content based on location and preference.
- Daily mixes offer 40 song recommendations inspired by your listening throughout the week.
- Discovery updated every week, we bring you new music that you’ve never listened to on Deezer, perfectly tailored to your taste. We recommend the tracks based on music favorited on your phone.
