How to Send an SMS to UAE

1. Compose a new SMS. Enter your message into the text field. Access the destination entry field of the message.
2. Enter the exit code of the country from which you are messaging. For example, enter 011 if messaging from the USA. Enter the UAE country code, 971, directly after the exit code. The country code refers to a national prefix used when calling that particular country from another. A code consisting of one, two or three digits is assigned to each country by the International Telecommunications Union for international calls.
3. Enter the recipient's phone number directly after 971. Select the 'Send' option as you would when sending a domestic SMS.
4. Access the 'Sent Messages' folder on your phone. If the message was sent successfully, it should appear in the folder.
