Etisalat is one of the largest mobile networks in the United Arab Emirates, offering services such as mobile phones, prepaid SIM, postpaid, landline, cell phone, and other services. It is said to be the largest and most popular mobile network in the United Arab Emirates, which is also the first 5G network. While buying an Etisalat SIM, the first thing everyone does is to save their number so that they don’t forget it. If the SIM number is forgotten then many problems can be faced after which we have to find out how to check Etisalat number.
There are many ways to find an Etisalat SIM number, some of which are free and you can also check using your brain. I also had this problem when I went to Dubai and bought a tourist SIM there and threw away the SIM pack after which it became difficult to find my number due to lack of balance. Then I tried a few methods and managed to find my new number. All these methods you can see below to save your time and get the job done.
Recently, I was reading some blog posts and websites that say that call 101 and ask them your phone number. If an Etisalat new or old user has enough balance then they can perform this action. If you have enough balance then there is nothing tough to see your number and its details.
Calling 101 may charge a small fee of AED 2 or more according to your Tariff. So, use the other methods to check your phone number for free if you do have not enough balance in your SIM.
