Method 1: Check Etisalat Balance Using *121# (Fastest)
This is the go-to method for most Etisalat prepaid users — instant, free, and works without any internet connection.
- Open your phone dial pad
- Dial *121# and press the call button
- Your remaining credit balance appears on screen within 2–3 seconds
Pro Tip: *121# works even with zero balance. It is completely free and available 24/7. Results appear in under 3 seconds.
Method 2: Check Etisalat Data Balance Using *140# or *170#
Want to check your remaining internet data specifically? Use these dedicated data balance codes:
| Code | What It Shows | Works For |
| *140# | Remaining data + expiry | Prepaid |
| *170# | Data usage + plan details | Prepaid & Postpaid |
| *101# | Full allowances — data, calls, SMS | Prepaid |
*101# is particularly useful — it shows your complete account snapshot in one screen, including data, minutes, SMS and any active plan details.
Method 3: Check Etisalat Balance by SMS
Prefer a text confirmation? Etisalat supports several SMS commands for different balance types:
| What to Check | SMS to Send | Send To |
| Data balance | DATA | 1010 |
| International minutes | usage | 1012 |
| Postpaid plan info | NP | 1012 |
Etisalat also automatically sends SMS alerts when you reach 80%, 90% and 100% of your data usage — a useful built-in reminder that requires no action on your part.
Method 4: Check Etisalat Balance in the e& UAE App (Most Detailed)
For a complete view of your account — credit, data, minutes, expiry dates and active plans — the e& UAE app is the most powerful option.
- Download the e& UAE app from App Store or Google Play
- Log in with your Etisalat number — you can also use UAE PASS for faster login
- Your balance, data usage and active plans are shown on the home dashboard
- Tap any section for a detailed breakdown including usage history
The e& app lets you set custom data alerts, recharge your account, activate plans, monitor roaming usage, and manage multiple lines — all in one place. Highly recommended for regular users.
Method 5: Check Etisalat Balance Online via Website
Best for postpaid users or anyone who wants full billing details on a computer.
- Visit etisalat.ae or eand.ae
- Click My Account in the top right corner
- Log in with your mobile number or UAE PASS
- View your balance, active bundles, usage history and billing details
This method gives you access to downloadable invoices and complete usage history — useful for business users and anyone managing multiple lines.
Method 6: Check Etisalat Balance While Roaming Outside UAE
USSD codes like *121# may not work on international networks. Use these methods instead when travelling:
International call: Dial +9714004121 (standard international rates apply)
e& UAE app on Wi-Fi: Free — connect to hotel or local Wi-Fi and check your balance in the app
Website: Log into etisalat.ae from any browser
Customer care: Call 800 101 from other networks inside UAE, or contact via the app chat
Checking Etisalat Balance for Postpaid Users
Postpaid users track usage against a monthly plan rather than a credit balance. Here is your dedicated reference:
| What to Check | Method | Code / Action |
| Current bill & usage | USSD | *140# |
| Credit limit remaining | USSD | *142# |
| Data balance | USSD | *170# |
| Plan info via SMS | SMS | Send NP to 1012 |
| Full billing details | Website / App | etisalat.ae — My Account |
Etisalat Balance Check Not Working? (Troubleshooting)
No network signal: Move to better coverage and retry. USSD requires at least 2 bars of signal.
Wrong code for account type: Prepaid users dial *121#. Postpaid users dial *142# or use the app.
SIM inactive or expired: If your SIM has been inactive, visit an Etisalat store with your Emirates ID.
Roaming issues: USSD may not work abroad. Use the e& app on Wi-Fi or dial +9714004121.
App not updating: Pull down to refresh the dashboard. Recent recharges can take 5–10 minutes to reflect.
Restart your phone: Toggle flight mode on and off to refresh the network connection.
