What does business VoIP actually cost in Dubai in 2026? Per-user bands, SIP trunks, setup, and what drives the quote up or down.

Quick answer

Business VoIP in Dubai is priced per user per month, plus SIP trunk charges for outbound calling and a one-time setup. What moves the quote is the number of concurrent calls you need, whether you keep existing numbers, how much call routing and IVR is required, and whether handsets are supplied or you use softphones on existing devices.

Business VoIP in Dubai replaces expensive PSTN lines with cloud or on-premise PBX on licensed Etisalat or du SIP trunks. In the UAE only the TDRA-licensed operators, e& and du, carry VoIP calls to the public phone network, so every system we install sends its outside calls over an e& or du business SIP trunk. Azizi Technologies deploys 3CX, Yeastar and Microsoft Teams Phone for Dubai SMBs on those trunks, with number porting and either handsets or softphone-only setups.

Quick answer

Typical Dubai business VoIP: about AED 35–95 per user/month for hosted 3CX once the licence, the du or e& SIP trunk and call charges are added, and about AED 20–40 per user/month for the Teams Phone licence on top of existing M365, with calls still carried by du or e&. One-time setup for a 20-seat rollout depends on number porting, handsets, call flows and training, so we quote it in writing after a call-flow review. Whether international calls get cheaper depends on your du or e& business tariff, so compare against your current bill.

VoIP licence cost per user (Dubai SMB)

*Teams Phone assumes existing Microsoft 365 licensing. Microsoft Calling Plans are not sold in the UAE, so Teams calls to the phone network go out over a du or e& SIP trunk, connected by Direct Routing or, where the operator offers it, Operator Connect. Trunk and call charges come on your du or e& bill.

Frequently asked questions

Is business VoIP legal in the UAE?
Yes, on a business SIP trunk from e& or du. In the UAE only these two TDRA-licensed operators carry VoIP calls to the public phone network, so every 3CX, Yeastar or Teams Phone system we install routes its outside calls through one of them. We do not set up unlicensed calling apps or routing workarounds.
Can we keep our existing Dubai phone number?
Usually yes — number portability from PSTN to VoIP SIP is routine. Allow 5–10 business days and plan a cutover window with failover.
Do we need desk phones?
No — many Dubai offices go softphone-only on laptops and mobiles. Handsets add hardware cost but suit reception and trading floors.
