VoIP services in UAE are only for licensed providers: TRA

Abu Dhabi - The Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (TRA) has issued a statement clarifying the policy about use of Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) in the UAE.

The TRA said on Monday that the statement was in response to the news published recently by local newspapers and social networks regarding VoIP services in the UAE.

“VoIP services are still a prerogative of the licensed providers who reserve the right to provide such services through their networks. Companies wishing to offer such services must co-ordinate with the licensed telecom providers in the UAE,” it added.
