Landline phones in the UAE: prices and what to choose

Updated 5 November 2026

A corded landline phone in the United Arab Emirates usually costs about AED 50 to AED 170, and a cordless DECT phone about AED 73 to AED 225. Retro designs and phones for several handsets cost more. Describe the type, the model and the number of handsets you need in a request on BlaBlaPrice to get exact offers.

Operators and VAT

A home line in the UAE comes from one of the country's two licensed operators, and numbers can be ported, so you can keep your number when you change provider. Some listings state that the price includes 5% VAT. Ask the seller whether the price you are quoted already includes VAT before you agree on it.

Office systems

For an office with several desks, the price depends on the system rather than the single phone. Desk phones, DECT handsets, conference phones and an IP telephone system are often quoted together. One supplier in Dubai lists installed office telephone systems from about AED 2,500, so ask for the number of desk phones and conference units you need before you compare offers.

Season and placement

Phones do not follow a season in the UAE, but the climate affects where they stand. Summers from May to September are very hot, so keep a cordless base out of direct sun and away from heat sources. The mild months from November to March are a comfortable time to set up an office or a home line with a fitter or installer.

Delivery and how it is bought

Prices are quoted per phone or per system, so compare like with like. Sellers in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman and Al Ain can usually deliver between these cities; name your city in the request so the seller can say what it costs to reach you. Warranty terms are often shown in the product listing, so check them before you buy.

What to write in your request

Say whether you want a corded, cordless, retro or IP phone, how many handsets you need, and whether the phone is for a home or an office. List the features you need, such as caller ID, speakerphone, hold and mute or an answering machine, and state your budget in AED. Clear details help sellers offer the right model the first time.
