Etisalat goes live with voice directory service
http://www.itp.net/news/544069-etisalat-goes-live-with-voice-directory-service
After months of in-house tweaking and testing, Etisalat has launched its voice directory service in an effort to reduce response times.
Initially available only to landline customers calling ‘181’, the service will soon be made available to Etisalat’s mobile customers as well.
The service works with the help of an Interactive Voice Response (IVR) system that uses automatic speech recognition to distinguish commands in both Arabic and English, regardless of caller accent or dialect.
As the service is only in its first phase, it can presently only provide listings for five main categories – finance, travel, hotels, restaurants and healthcare. Other categories will be included at a later stage.
Customer service agents at Etisalat, who previously handled directory enquiries, will now provide support for other categories and requests that the system can’t handle.

Report dangerous drivers in Dubai
Call 8004353 to report dangerous drivers in Dubai. You need to give the correct number plate details ( the number, colour, the emirate, and for Dubai any alphabet.) They will ask you details about the offence and where it happened, and the make of the car.

Useful Phone Numbers - Abu Dhabi, Dubai and Sharjah
GulfNews.com is providing a downloadable PDF with useful phone numbers in Abu Dhabi, Dubai and Sharjah.
Essential telephone numbers in UAE
Staff Report
Published: March 02, 2008, 10:27
Dubai: 999, the emergency number in the country, is one of the busiest numbers in the country, naturally, but often for all the wrong reasons.

Many residents call 999 seeking a taxi or to find out the traffic situation. Hundreds of trivial and inane calls are made to 999 every day, hindering the work of police on emergency duty.
A staggering 573,471 calls were made to 999 in 2007 and these were not emergencies. Most were enquiries on speed limits on roads, location of certain departments, traffic fines, transactions related to the Naturalisation and Residency Department and complaints against taxi drivers.
Lieutenant General Dahi Khalfan Tamim, Chief of Dubai Police, recently said: "Nobody knows the amount of effort that goes into answering calls on 999. Therefore, people should only call 999 in case of emergencies which require the immediate presence of security or rescue personnel," he said.
In an attempt to offer easy access to information, Gulf News has compiled some of the important telephone numbers in the country.
We have compiled some of the essential numbers, including traffic, transport and hospital numbers, which are in an easily downloadable PDF format. We will be adding to the list as and when we get and verify essential telephone numbers
