Bulk SMS in the UAE, TDRA compliant

Sender ID registration through e& and du, Arabic support, promotional windows respected

UAE SMS runs through two operators and both require your sender ID registered before any traffic flows. The TDRA separates promotional from transactional and restricts when promotional messages may be sent. Get the classification wrong and your traffic is blocked at the operator with no appeal. We file the registration, keep the renewals current and classify your traffic correctly from the start.

Typical timeline

What is included for the United Arab Emirates

Sender ID registration through e& and du, Arabic support, promotional windows respected

Sender ID registration

Filed with both e& and du using your trade licence and an authorisation letter on company letterhead. Separate IDs for promotional and transactional.

Promotional time windows

The TDRA restricts promotional sending hours. Campaigns are scheduled inside the permitted window automatically rather than rejected at the gateway.

Arabic messaging

Full Unicode support with correct right-to-left rendering. Arabic uses a shorter segment length, so we show you the real per-message cost before you send.

Transactional routing

OTPs, delivery updates and appointment reminders on transactional routes that reach recipients regardless of marketing preferences.

Trade licence documentation

Free zone or mainland, we prepare the document pack. Most first-time rejections are a missing authorisation signature.

Renewals tracked

Sender ID registrations expire. We track and refile before they lapse, which is the usual cause of traffic stopping without warning.

Indicative rate for the United Arab Emirates

Where you land inside the band depends on monthly volume, message category and route type.

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

Your sender ID must be registered with the operators, who apply TDRA rules. Unregistered alphanumeric senders are blocked. We handle the filing with both e& and du.

Typically one to three weeks depending on how quickly the operators process the submission. Transactional registrations usually clear faster than promotional.

₹2.20 to ₹3.80 per SMS depending on monthly volume and route. UAE termination rates are among the higher ones globally, which is why WhatsApp is often cheaper per outcome there.

Yes, with full Unicode support. Arabic messages use 70 characters per segment instead of 160, so a long Arabic message costs more than the same message in English.
