Useful Phones
It is clear that all telephone communication is paid. It is much cheaper to call from street payphones. There are also meeting points. The most expensive call will cost you from the phone installed in the hotel room. Phone calls with Russia are not cheap. The best option is conversations at preferential times (from 12 at night to 7 in the morning) on a street machine - 7 dirhams per minute of conversation. In normal times, you will have to pay already 9 dirhams. You can call from absolutely any street phone.
Phone cards here are of several denominations: from 30 to 120 dirhams. Very interesting Prepaid card. With its help, you can call from any phone, even from a hotel, and at a minimum rate, which is much lower than a hotel one.
There is also a Normal card - the most common card, which is used only in street pay phones. If you need to call locally, it is better to buy Itisalat phone cards.
mobile connection
If it is more convenient for you to call from a mobile, then it is better to buy a special card from a local operator. To do this, you need a passport or a copy of it. Such a SIM card costs 165 dirhams, including the cost of outgoing calls. It is convenient to use it if someone has the opportunity to call you, since incoming calls will be free.
You need it to call and reserve a table in a restaurant, call a taxi by phone or mobile application, call an insurance company, or buy a ticket to an attraction through the site. A striking example is where there are usually no tickets at the box office, it is recommended to buy a ticket through the site.

Also, along with this SIM card, you will receive a promo code for a 20% discount on 4 trips on Uber. To receive discounts, you need to install the UBER application and enter a promo code. The discount will be applied automatically to the next 4 trips. The discount does not apply to the UberX tariff, however, from September 2, 2019, it was canceled in Dubai anyway.
Until the summer of 2019, there were two more great promo codes - for the “Dollar Rent A Car” discount and the “DU ENTERTAINER” coupon app subscription, but now they have been canceled.
This tariff is useless for international calls. The price of a minute of an international call is 2.25 dirhams.
Virtual (tourist) operators
There are telecom operators in the world that do not install their own towers, but use the networks of other operators. They are called "virtual". They have good prices for international calls, but obviously not in the case of the UAE.
Prices for calls from the UAE to Russia:
teletie– 2.75 USD per minute;
EuroSim– 2.6 USD per minute;
good line– 0.95 USD for outgoing, 0.15 USD for incoming;
– 0.55 USD for outgoing, 0.15 USD for incoming;
GlobalSIM- 1.25 USD for outgoing, 0.65 USD for incoming;
As can be seen from the figures, there are no proposals worthy of attention here. Only incoming calls from Goodline and SimTravel are relatively cheap. But below will be an analysis of prices for calls from Russian operators in roaming, there will be much more interesting offers.
We also want to warn you that communication with these operators often “lame” or does not work at all. Do you need it?
Roaming
Russian operators are often scolded in the media for too high roaming prices. In practice, it is their tariff options that turn out to be the most profitable in the UAE.
MTS
If you do not connect options, then MTS has a minute of conversation that costs 275 rubles, an SMS message costs 21.
However, MTS has the richest set of options that greatly reduce the cost of communication.
