+971 · 5 operators

The UAE has around 20 million mobile subscriptions with SIM penetration above 200% (multi-SIM is extremely common), in a duopoly of two state-owned operators: Etisalat (e&) and du (EITC), with MVNOs like Virgin Mobile. Both prepaid and postpaid have significant shares, and USSD is commonly used by prepaid users for recharge, balance enquiries, and short-term data packs (especially for tourists and business travelers).
