![]() ![]() Does it mean that ToTok app will now be charged soon?” said one member of the Abu Dhabi Q&A Facebook page. “We’re subscribed to Botim and I just received this message. ![]() Some customers, confused by what it means for the service they pay for, have taken to social media to discuss the issue and question whether ToTok really was free. Residents instead had to use paid-for services provided by the country's telecommunication providers, Etisalat and du on a small number of apps, including Botim.Īt the time, users of those apps were required to subscribe to special internet voice and video calling packages costing up to Dh100 a month to use them. ![]() It said users would receive free, unlimited calls with no adverts – something Botim introduced to its app in recent months.Ĭalling features provided by the likes of WhatsApp, Facebook and Microsoft-owned Skype have been restricted in the Emirates in recent years. The message included a link for users of Botim to download the ToTok app. "We're excited to announce that Botim recently agreed to continue providing communication services under the ToTok brand,” the message read. Users of Botim, a video and voice call app, received messages last week notifying them that the company would offer free calling services through ToTok. The app can be downloaded from the Google Play Store or Apple App Store, with no internet calling plan required. ToTok requires no subscription and can be used for messaging or conference calls of up to 20 people. That would make it the only free government-approved VoIP video app available in the UAE. Its service - which customers currently pay from Dh50 per month for - will be replaced by new brand ToTok. The service – offered in tandem with Singaporean provider Botim – is already a hit with residents keen to keep in touch with friends and family.īotim is already licensed by the UAE's telecoms regulator and has tie-ups with Etisalat and du. A free video calling app is ringing in the changes as customers unable to make WhatsApp and Skype calls turn to ToTok. ![]()
