Why are some Twitter users discussing a suggestion to stop using Etisalat and du? Different points of view have been shared on social media, with some people in favour of jettisoning the two companies and others firmly against such an action.
Some users claimed that the telecommunications providers have been taking advantage of their customers.
Another issue revolves around the blocking of apps offering free-call services, and there has been a debate about related security issues.
Some users said that unhappy customer responses indicate a desire for the providers to “offer more respect to us and our needs”.
Several users warned others about the negativity of the hashtag that has been circulated .
Many urged against any precipitous action, suggesting instead that the telecom companies should “take action to improve their services and satisfy the public’s demands”.
