FAQ

Do I need to be in the UAE to buy a UAE virtual phone number?

KYC required. TDRA requires a UAE business registration (trade license) or Emirates ID. Companies based outside the UAE typically register through a UAE Free Zone agent or a local business sponsor. DIDHub walks you through the paperwork.

How much does a UAE virtual phone number cost?

Geographic UAE numbers (any emirate) start from $8.00/month. Business unified 600 numbers from $12.00/month. Toll-free 800 from $20.00/month plus per-minute. $0 setup once TDRA paperwork is approved.

Why is the UAE more expensive than other countries?

TDRA-regulated wholesale rates plus stricter compliance overhead. The trade-off is very high trust — UAE B2B buyers strongly prefer UAE Caller IDs, and a 04 Dubai number on a sales line dramatically outperforms a foreign Caller ID in the Gulf.

Can I use a UAE virtual number with Microsoft Teams?

Yes. UAE numbers work with Teams Direct Routing via DIDHub's managed Teams SBC or BYO-SBC. Microsoft Calling Plans coverage in the UAE is limited; Direct Routing is the standard path for Teams in the UAE.

Can I send SMS to UAE numbers?

SMS in the UAE is heavily regulated. Inbound SMS works on most numbers; commercial outbound SMS requires sender-ID registration with TDRA. DIDHub manages the registration as part of SMS service for the UAE.
