Which Type of Number
Suits Your Business?

Local Number

A local number is a telephone number whose digit structure contains geographic information tying it to a particular city or region.

Before ordering a local number in the UAE, you’ll need to provide several documents and details. If you are a UAE company, this includes your Trade License, Emirates ID, proof of address, and company contact phone number. You’ll also need to explain how the number will be used, the type of calls, proof of prior consent from recipients, and confirm registration in the local Do Not Call Registries.

If you are a non-UAE company, you must provide your Official Business Registration and proof of address, a working website with Terms of Service and Privacy Policy, the passport or national ID of your legal representative, and the same additional information regarding usage, call nature, consent, call ratio, and Do Not Call Registry registration.

Rates are €0.34 for calls to local fixed lines and €0.29 for calls to local mobiles.

For full details and guidelines, please refer to the Help Center article.

National Number

Unlike local phone numbers, national numbers are not tied to a particular city or region. Pricing for making phone calls from CloudTalk on a national number is the same as it is for our local numbers. Placing calls into a national CloudTalk phone number should incur the same charges as local numbers. However, each carrier around the world determines its own pricing policies.

CloudTalk also offers inbound-only UAE toll-free numbers, available for both UAE-based and non-UAE companies. These numbers can only receive calls from other UAE numbers and outbound calls are not possible.

If you are a UAE company, you’ll need to provide your company registration, a UAE business address, and a signed Letter of Intent on your company letterhead. For non-UAE companies, only the signed Letter of Intent is required. Business use is mandatory—private use is not permitted.
