What is DNCR (UAE Do Not Call Registry)?
The DNCR is the UAE's Do Not Call Registry, run by the TDRA. People add their mobile number for free, and companies may not make marketing calls to registered numbers.
What it means for your business
Under the 2024 telemarketing rules, calling a registered number for marketing is a violation with heavy fines. Any outbound calling list, human or AI, should be checked against the registry first.
