New to the UAE? Start here
If you have just landed, an eSIM number is the fastest way to be reachable. As long as your phone supports eSIM (most recent iPhone, Samsung and Pixel models do), you can have a working UAE number the same day, without finding a store or waiting for a courier. You still complete the standard UAE registration with your ID, the same as a physical SIM.
Choose the number you want
Your number is yours to choose, not assigned at random. On the Choose Number page you can filter live Etisalat inventory for repeating digits, simple sequences and other memorable patterns, then take it as an eSIM. Want something standout? See premium eSIM numbers for VIP Silver, Gold and Platinum options.
Same number, digital delivery
An eSIM UAE number behaves exactly like any Etisalat line: full coverage, calls, data and roaming on your plan. The only difference is there is no plastic card. If you later change phones, you move the eSIM across in the app.
