Which e& number should you dial?
101 is the short code e& keeps for its own customers. e& lists 800 101 for everyone who is not an e& customer, so that is the number to use from a du or Virgin Mobile phone. Visitor Line users have a separate support code, 121.
Business customers
Companies with an e& business account reach business customer care on 800 5800, which is toll-free when dialled inside the UAE.
WhatsApp and online chat
e& answers on WhatsApp at 800 101, the same digits as its toll-free line, and says the service runs around the clock. Its website also has a Virtual Advisor chat that e& describes as available 24/7.
Contacting e& from abroad
The e& Code of Practice lists no separate customer care number for calls from outside the UAE. When you are travelling, use WhatsApp, the online chat or the email address e& publishes there: care@etisalat.ae.
When customer care cannot solve it
File the complaint with e& first and write down the reference you are given. If you are still not satisfied with the outcome, the regulator TDRA offers a free dispute resolution service. You log in with UAE PASS and fill in a form, and TDRA aims to answer within 5 working days for a regular case and up to 15 for a complex one. TDRA can be called on 800 12.
Why a call from 101 can still be fake
Caller ID is easy to forge, and a well known short code is exactly what scammers like to display. If someone calling as e& asks for a code, card details or a payment, hang up and dial 101 yourself from your own phone.
