1. Using USSD Code (For Prepaid Users)

The easiest and most popular method is through a simple USSD code.

2. Check Data Balance (Internet/Data Only)

If you want to check how much mobile data you have left:

Dial: *170# or *101*170#

• You’ll see your remaining data and validity.

3. Using My Etisalat UAE App

This is a convenient method for both prepaid and postpaid users.

Another quick method, especially if you’re using a basic phone.

Type: BAL

Send to: 1010

You will receive a text message showing your current balance.

For Postpaid Users

If you’re on a postpaid plan, you won’t have a balance per se, but you can check your bill and usage:
