Why Use a UAE Number?
UAE Virtual Phone Number or Temp Number?
Many people search for a UAE virtual phone number or a Dubai virtual phone number when they need a number they can keep. The UAE is not in the rental list today, so a long-term virtual phone number UAE is not available yet.
What the page does offer is a temporary +971 number for one code. If you need a number you keep, rentals are available in other countries, for example the United Kingdom or the United States.
Before You Order a UAE Number
Check that the app sends the code by SMS. A temporary number receives text messages only, so voice-call verification will not reach it.

How to Buy a UAE Temp Number and Activate It, Step by Step
What you actually get
A real mobile number on a SIM card that stays on 1001SMS infrastructure. It receives SMS, and that is all a verification needs: the app sends a code, the number receives it, you read it on your order page.
Step by step
- 1Create a 1001SMS account and top up your balance.
- 2Choose the service from the list, or "Other" if your app is not there.
- 3Choose the country and check the delivery rate shown next to it.
- 4Copy the number and paste it into the app.
- 5Request the code and wait for it on your order page.
- 6Enter the code in the app to finish.
Security rules worth following
- Add an email to the account.
- Turn on two-step verification where offered.
- Keep bank accounts on your own number.
Activation or rental
An activation is one number for one code, reserved for 20 minutes. A rental keeps the same number for a set period and receives every SMS sent to it. The UAE is not in the rental catalogue yet; each order covers one code.
If you need a number you can keep, rentals are currently available in Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Finland, Germany, Hong Kong, Israel, Italy, Lithuania, Mexico, the Netherlands, Poland, Slovenia, Spain, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and the United States.
Paying and getting help
One USD balance pays for temporary numbers, rentals and eSIM data. You can top up with Visa, Mastercard, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Alipay or cryptocurrency, and you are charged only when a code is delivered. Support answers on Telegram and by email around the clock.
