June 22, 2022
Emirates Auction and Etisalat UAE announced the launch of the first online auction in the country, dubbed “#TAG”, for shorter mobile phone numbers. Post-paid customers can link a mobile phone number to a short number #TAG, replacing the traditional way of dialling the 10-digit number.
The online auction, which ends today (June 22), allows customers to bid on a group of unique digit phone numbers that are only available to Etisalat UAE and Du post-paid customers. These special numbers usually match the numbers pegged to special occasions like birthdays or anniversaries of customers.
Several such unique numbers are going under the hammer, including #10, #1234, #11 and #55555
