Bulk SMS in the UAE

Reaching a multilingual UAE audience by SMS

The UAE is one of the most connected markets in the world, and SMS still cuts through to a diverse, multilingual population that switches between Arabic and English. For alerts, OTPs and offers, it is a channel every resident’s phone can receive.

  • Etisalat and du, direct

    We route into both UAE networks so your messages reach residents and visitors alike, on any handset, without depending on an app or data plan — the certainty that banking and government-style alerts demand.

  • Arabic and English ready

    SMS supports both scripts, so you can run the same campaign in Arabic and English and meet customers in their preferred language — a practical edge in the UAE’s mixed market.

  • TDRA-aligned sending

    Sender-ID registration and content rules follow TDRA guidance, with opt-out handling and pricing in dirhams. Pair SMS with WhatsApp for a reach-plus-richness mix suited to Gulf audiences.
