Following the launch of the “My Number, My Identity” campaign by the UAE Telecom Regulatory Authority (TRA), Etisalat today announced the near-completion of all procedures to begin SIM card registration for its mobile customers.

Starting July 17, 2012, Etisalat’s customers can choose from over 100 points of sale across the UAE to process their mobile registration.

As per the directive of the TRA, mobile customers in the UAE are required to update their profile in the operator database and ensure all SIM holders are the same as the registered owner of the SIM card.
