Sending a fax to the UAE from your iPhone requires the +971 country code. UAE government agencies, banks, and real estate offices still rely on fax for official transactions.
Country Code
+971
Number Format
+971 X XXX XXXX
Always dial the full number including +971 when sending from outside UAE. TigerFax automatically prepends the country code when you select UAE as your destination.
Special Dialing Format
UAE uses a different fax number format than the US. Make sure you enter the number exactly as shown above — including the country code +971 — or your fax may not be delivered.
The primary business language in UAE is Arabic. If you're faxing to a business contact, consider including a cover page with a brief note in Arabic if possible.
Fax in UAE
The UAE's real estate and financial sectors still process hundreds of thousands of fax transmissions monthly — Dubai Land Department and UAE banks still require fax for many official transactions.
