For Emergency Broadcast Testing: 

The Early Warning System for Mobile Phones aims to create new channels of communication with mobile users in emergencies and crises that contribute to speeding up communication and spreading warnings to face risks and save lives and properties as soon as possible.

All mobile manufacturers and suppliers in the United Arab Emirates must implement all the requirements to have final approval to introduce and sell the phone in the country markets. The testing of Emergency Broadcast feature requires a testing SIM with the following specifications: MCC 001 and MNC 01.

The mobile manufacturers have to enable it on the devices so that the UAE Emergency Broadcast setting appears to facilitate the testing procedures.

In addition, Soft SIM and e-SIM is not accepted by TRA.
