Ironically Etisalat fan page appeared in google search but with non nonfunctional link .
On 4th of Jan at 12:02am the page came back to life again with a respectful apology statement :
We are not sure yet about the technical reasons why the page disappeared , But! for sure a high level communication with Facebook administration was involved . As both Etisalat & Facebook involved in a previous cooperation with exclusive free data access for Etisalat customers :
We also noticed that no remarkable change applied to the fan page name Etisalat Misr (community)
We wish Etisalat team the very best and welcoming the back on facebook.
