Therefore, we have capitalized on our efforts and expertise to provide another additional option in a bid to offer a handy service to customers and accordingly raise their satisfaction rating,” continued Maitha.

“The new service is so simple as it only requires the customer to write in the text message the following data, and in the following order: Number of Salik Tag, Salik Account Number, and Salik PIN; and then send these contents to the service-dedicated number 5959; whether being user of Etisalat or Du network. It emains to be said that the fees involved will be restricted to 30 fils per SMS.

The policy pursued by the Intelligent Traffic Systems will not be confined to figuring out innovative solutions to relieve the burden of Salik users only, but also ontinuously seeks to introduce new developments that render the system handy and user-friendly.
