There isn’t a true 24-hour unlimited pack on Etisalat UAE today. The closest is Super Hour: unlimited data for 1 hour (AED 3) or 3 hours (AED 6) via *800*5# or in the app. For a full day, combine Super Hour sessions or use daily data packs (100MB/250MB) from *170#/*101#.
Do this next for Etisalat unlimited data for 1 day
- Dial *800*5# and pick 1-hour or 3-hours unlimited.
- Need light, all-day data? From *170# choose One-day 100MB/250MB.
- Heavy user? Consider Nonstop Data (monthly) in the app; daily FUP applies.
What “one-day unlimited” really means?
Bottom line: Etisalat sells hourly unlimited (1h/3h) with speeds up to 3 Mbps. There’s no official 24-hour unlimited at full speed. For a “one-day” need, you either:
- Run one or more Super Hour windows during your peak usage, or
- Pick a One-day data pack (fixed MB) for 24 hours.
Option A — Super Hour (unlimited for a limited time)
What you get:
- 1 hour (AED 3) or 3 hours (AED 6), VAT included, unlimited data, up to 3 Mbps. e& offers it for a limited time.
- Eligibility: Prepaid & Control Line (Visitor Line excluded).
- Hotspot/tethering: Not allowed on Super Hour.
Step-wise activation:
Step 1: Dial *800*5#.
Step 2: Choose 1-hour or 3-hours.
Step 3: Wait for the SMS; your session timer starts.
Manage/check:
Open My Etisalat UAE → Add-ons/Super Hour to see status and remaining time.
Option B — One-day data (fixed allowance, 24 hours)
Who is this for? Light users who want the pack to last the day.
Common daily packs
- One-day 100MB — activates via *170#/*101# or app; SMS keyword SD to 1010.
- One-day 250MB — activates via *170#/*101# or app; SMS keyword D250M to 1010.
- Prices: One-day 100MB is AED 5 and One-day 250MB is AED 10, both excluding 5% VAT (AED 5.25 and AED 10.50 with VAT). Both are one-time packs that do not renew.
Step-wise activation (USSD path)
Step 1: Dial *170# (or *101#).
Step 2: Pick Data → One-day packs (100MB/250MB).
Step 3: Confirm; watch for the SMS.
Prefer SMS? Text SD to 1010 for One-day 100MB, or D250M to 1010 for One-day 250MB.
Want it every day? The 100MB Daily Plan
If you need a little data every day, the 100MB Daily Plan costs AED 3 a day (excl. VAT) and renews automatically until you stop it. Subscribe with *170# or *101#, or text DD3 to 1012. If your balance runs out, you get a 3-day grace period to recharge. To stop it, see how to unsubscribe from the Etisalat daily data plan.
Option C — “Nonstop Data” (monthly, with daily FUP)
What it is: A monthly pack for AED 50 (excl. VAT) with a daily fair-usage allowance of 150MB at up to 192 kbps, after which speed drops to 64 kbps until midnight. e& lists it as a limited-time promotion. It auto-renews and has grace periods if balance is low. It’s not “unlimited for 1 day,” but a cost-steady fallback if you need data every day.
How to get it?
Step 1: Dial *135*5# or search Nonstop Data in My Etisalat UAE.
Step 2: Confirm subscription (it auto-renews monthly).
Step 3: Manage it in the app, with *170#, or by texting DATA to 1010.

Fair-usage & fine print you shouldn’t skip
- Speed cap: Super Hour is up to 3 Mbps.
- Hotspot: Sharing/tethering is blocked during Super Hour sessions.
- Eligibility: Super Hour works on Prepaid & Control Line; Visitor Line excluded.
- Stacking: You can’t overlap Super Hour with certain add-ons (e.g., Play on Demand).
- VAT: Etisalat shows prices excl. VAT on some pages; app usually shows final (incl. VAT).
- Always verify in app before purchase (prices and availability change).
What about the “AED 9 for 24 hours unlimited” pack?
Some websites advertise a 24-hour unlimited Etisalat pack for around AED 9 to AED 25, often with the code *135*5#. e’s current add-on pages do not list a 24-hour unlimited pack, and *135*5# is the code for the monthly Nonstop Data plan (AED 50). Always read the price on the confirmation screen before you accept, and use the options on this page for a real one-day solution.
Step-by-step: check, pause, or switch packs
To see how much data is left, open the app, dial *170*1# or *101#, or text DATA to 1010 (AED 0.30 per SMS, excl. VAT).
Step 1: Check status — open My Etisalat UAE → My Add-ons (or dial *170# for prepaid).
Step 2: Stop/avoid overlap — don’t start a new Super Hour while one is active.
Step 3: Switch packs — cancel the current add-on if needed, then subscribe to another from the app or *170#/*101#.
Pro Tip: Activate Super Hour exactly when your heavy task starts (meeting, big download). If you need multiple windows in a day, space them around usage peaks instead of keeping them back-to-back.
FAQs on Etisalat unlimited data for 1 day
Is there an Etisalat unlimited data for 1 day pack?
Not as a true 24-hour unlimited at full speed. The closest is Super Hour (1h/3h unlimited at up to 3 Mbps). For all-day coverage, combine sessions or buy a one-day 100MB/250MB pack.
Can I use hotspot with Super Hour?
No. Etisalat disallows sharing/tethering during Super Hour sessions.
Does Super Hour auto-renew?
No, one-time only. You’ll need to subscribe again when it ends.
Which is cheaper for light use: Super Hour or one-day 100MB?
It depends on when you use data. One-day 100MB costs AED 5 (excl. VAT) and lasts 24 hours, so it suits light use spread across the day. Super Hour costs AED 3 (VAT included) for one unlimited hour, which is better value if your use is concentrated in one sitting.
What is the code for Etisalat 1-day data?
Dial *170# or *101# and choose the one-day pack, or text SD to 1010 (100MB) or D250M to 1010 (250MB). For unlimited data by the hour, dial *800*5# for Super Hour.
How much does Etisalat 1-day data cost?
One-day 100MB is AED 5 and one-day 250MB is AED 10, both excluding VAT. Super Hour costs AED 3 for 1 hour or AED 6 for 3 hours, VAT included.
Does Etisalat one-day data renew automatically?
No. The one-day 100MB and 250MB packs are one-time. The separate 100MB Daily Plan (AED 3 a day, text DD3 to 1012) does renew every day until you unsubscribe.
Is *135*5# a 24-hour unlimited data code?
No. On e&’s current pages, *135*5# subscribes you to the monthly Nonstop Data plan (AED 50, excl. VAT), not a 24-hour unlimited pack. Check the price shown before you confirm.
