Eligibility Requirements For Transferring Credit And Data from Etisalat UAE

To successfully transfer credit and data with Etisalat UAE, there are certain eligibility requirements that both the sender and the recipient need to meet.

Firstly, the service is typically available only to prepaid users, meaning both the sender and the recipient should have prepaid accounts with Etisalat.

The sender must have adequate credit balance after considering the transfer amount, as well as any associated transfer fees, which are usually deducted at the time of the transfer.

The recipient’s number should also be active and in good standing. If the number is suspended or inactive for any reason, the transfer may not be processed. Both the sender and the recipient should be within Etisalat’s coverage area, as being out of network could prevent the transaction from being executed.
