Customers can surf the web, download apps, share photos or watch videos on their new iPhone devices for a monthly rental as low as Dh200,\" the company said in a statement. It added: \"Etisalat has also introduced iPhone business plans featuring flexible options and incredible value. \"The new plans are in addition to the existing iPhone 4S plans and will be available to individual and corporate customers starting today.\" \"The incredible value comes from the combination of etisalat\'s fastest nationwide network, an exceptional iPhone 4S device at no upfront payment and affordable price point.\" New and existing customers can get their new iPhone 4S device on an 18-month agreement for the new data plan and on a 24-month agreement for the corporate plan.
