Abu Dhabi - It will be effective starting from January 28, 2018.

Integrated Transport Center (ITC) in Abu Dhabi has announced an updated "Mobile Payment Method", SMS service for paid parking, which will include all vehicles registered in the UAE without prior registration. 
The DoT said on Twitter that the new SMS service, that involves sending a text message to 3009, will be effective starting from January 28, 2018.
Nonetheless, the previous payment method will still be working until the announcement of its determination, according to DoT.
