Work From Home Phone System Dubai —
Your Office Number, On Any Phone, Wherever You Are.
At home in Sharjah. Visiting family in India. On a business trip in London. It does not matter. Your Dubai office number rings on your phone. You answer. Your caller sees your Dubai business number. Your office phone system works whether you are at your desk or on the other side of the world.
Choose Your App. We Match the PBX.
Every PBX we install pairs with a specific mobile app. The app is not an add-on — it comes with the system. Pick the app that fits how your team works, and we deliver the hardware that powers it.
Yeastar Linkus UC
Your manager wants to know who called, when, and what was said — even when the team works from home. Linkus gives them full presence status, call recordings, CRM screen pop, and instant messaging. One-tap call flip from desk to mobile mid-conversation. Works remotely out of the box with Linkus Cloud Service — the most polished UC app in the market.
Remote: Full remote access via Linkus Cloud Service
Cost: Free on LAN; Cloud Service for remote
Security: TLS 1.2 + SRTP
Yeastar S-Series / P-Series
S20 (20 users) to P570 (500 users). Clean, straightforward admin interface. Native Microsoft Teams integration. Zero licence fees on S-Series. Modular expansion — add users without replacing hardware.
3CX App
Your customer sends a WhatsApp message. Your receptionist gets a live chat from the website. Your MD joins a video meeting from his phone in Riyadh. All three happen inside the same app. Voice, video, WhatsApp Business, live chat, and SMS — one inbox. Full remote access built in. No switching between platforms.
Remote: Full remote access included
Cost: Included in annual 3CX licence
Security: SBC tunnel, TLS, SRTP
3CX Phone System
Software-based PBX — runs on your server or our hosted instance. Unlimited users. Annual licence covers all features including video conferencing for up to 250 participants. Linux or Windows.
Also powers Microsoft Teams Direct Routing — your Etisalat or du number rings inside Teams without a desk phone. Staff make and receive business calls inside Teams using your Dubai number.
View 3CX Systems →Grandstream Wave
The lowest-cost option for businesses where staff are mostly in the office. Wave works flawlessly on your office WiFi — calls, transfers, directory, voicemail, conferencing. Remote access outside the LAN is available through UCM RemoteConnect (free for up to 10 users) but voice quality over mobile data is not as consistent as Linkus or 3CX. Suited to: office-first teams who want mobile flexibility inside the building and basic remote access as a backup.
Remote: Via RemoteConnect (free up to 10 users)
Cost: Free permanently — zero licence fees
Security: TLS + SRTP encryption
Grandstream UCM6300 Series
UCM6302A (500 users) to UCM6308 (2,000 users). Zero recurring licence fees ever. Built-in call recording, IVR, voicemail-to-email, conference bridge. Our most deployed PBX across Dubai — 400+ installations. Strong value for the price point in IP telephony.

Already Have a 3CX, Yeastar, or Grandstream System? We Enable Remote Access Without New Hardware.
Most Dubai offices have a working IP PABX that already supports mobile apps and remote extensions — but the remote access was never configured. The system was installed, the desk phones work, and nobody needed the app when everyone was in the office. Then the team needed to work from home and discovered the app either wasn't set up or wasn't working outside the office network. The hardware you already own can likely do everything described on this page. It just needs configuring.
Yeastar Linkus Cloud Setup
Your Yeastar P-Series or S-Series supports Linkus remote access. We activate Linkus Cloud Service, configure the mobile app for every user, and test remote access from outside the office — one session. If your Linkus subscription has lapsed, we renew it at the same time.
3CX Remote Extension Setup
3CX remote access is included in every licence — but it needs firewall configuration, FQDN setup, and app provisioning per user. We configure your existing 3CX server for remote access and provision the 3CX app on every phone via QR code. Most offices are fully remote-enabled within a single session.
Grandstream UCM RemoteConnect
Grandstream UCM6300 series supports UCM RemoteConnect — free for up to 10 users. We enable RemoteConnect on your existing UCM, configure Wave app on every phone, and test external access. If your team is larger than 10, we advise on the right licence tier before any cost is committed.
How it works: WhatsApp us the brand and model of your current PABX. We assess whether remote access is already included in your existing system — in most cases it is. We quote a flat-rate configuration fee, schedule a remote session, and have your team on the mobile app the same day. No new hardware required in most cases. Remote sessions start from AED 150 + VAT. See our full remote IT and PABX support service for ongoing support options.
When Your Dubai Office Goes Empty — What Happens to Your Calls?
It could be a building maintenance day. A government directive to work from home. Roads closed after heavy rain. A key employee flying back to their home country for a family emergency. The specific reason does not matter — what matters is whether your customers can still reach you when your office chairs are empty.
Without a work from home phone system, your Dubai office number rings in an empty room. Voicemail fills up. Clients call your competitor. Some of them never come back. The damage is not the day you lose — it is the customers who quietly move on because they could not reach you when it mattered.
With an IP PBX and mobile app, every call to your Dubai number reaches the right person on the right device — whether they are at home in Jumeirah, working from a coffee shop in JLT, or visiting family in Kerala. Your phone system does not care where your team is physically sitting. It only cares that they answer.
Your Business With a Work From Home Phone System — vs Without One
| Scenario | Without Remote Phone System | With PBX Mobile App |
|---|---|---|
| Office closed for the day | Dubai number rings unanswered. Customers get voicemail or nothing. | Calls route to staff phones at home. Business runs as normal. |
| Owner travels to home country | Unreachable on Dubai number. Clients call personal mobile — if they have it. | Answers Dubai number from India, Pakistan, UK — anywhere with internet. |
| Team works from home | Each person gives clients their personal mobile. No central number. | Every call goes through the company number. Professional, recorded, trackable. |
| Employee resigns | Customer contacts on personal phone leave with them. | Extension reassigned. Call history and recordings stay on company server. |
| Client calls after hours | Phone rings in empty office. No response until morning. | IVR answers. Voicemail-to-email delivers instantly to your phone. |
| Manager needs visibility | No idea who called, when, or what was said. Zero accountability. | Full call recordings, CDR logs, live dashboards — even for remote calls. |
| Caller sees your number | Personal mobile number. Unprofessional. Untraceable. | Dubai business number on every outbound call, worldwide. |
Use Your Dubai Number From India, Pakistan, Philippines, UK — Or Anywhere
Dubai runs on expats. Every business owner, every manager, every salesperson has a home country they return to — sometimes for a holiday, sometimes for a family emergency, sometimes because circumstances force it. The question every Dubai business owner eventually asks: if I have to leave, can I still run my business on my Dubai number?
The answer is yes. Your IP PBX sits in your Dubai office. The mobile app on your phone connects to that PBX over any internet connection in the world. You make and receive calls on your Dubai 04-xxx number from a hotel room in Mumbai, your family home in Lahore, a serviced apartment in London, or a beach house in Manila. Your customers dial your Dubai number and you answer — they never know you are not at your desk.
From India

From Pakistan
Answer your Dubai business calls from Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad. The app uses data only — no international roaming charges for voice. Your Dubai number stays active. Customers in Dubai see no difference. Works on Jazz, Zong, Telenor, Ufone data.

How Your Office Extension Works on Your Personal Phone
Your IP PBX sits in your Dubai office, connected to your Etisalat or du SIP trunk. The mobile app on your smartphone connects to that PBX over any internet connection — home broadband, office WiFi, mobile data, hotel WiFi anywhere in the world. When you make a call from the app, your caller sees your Dubai office number. When someone calls your extension, the app rings on your phone alongside your desk phone. You answer whichever device is closest. Mid-call, transfer from desk to mobile with one tap and walk out the door. Your caller never knows.

across the UAE
You do not need to forward calls to your mobile. You do not need a virtual number. You do not need a cloud-hosted service with your data on someone else’s server. Your PBX is in your office. Your call recordings are on your hardware. Your data stays local. The app simply extends your office phone system to wherever your team happens to be — whether that is the next room or the next continent.
Your Salesperson Quit Last Month. Where Are Your Customer Contacts?
This is the scenario that costs Dubai businesses more than any phone system failure: your salespeople use personal mobile numbers for business calls and personal WhatsApp for client messaging. WhatsApp voice calls are blocked in the UAE — but your team still uses their personal 05x numbers for every client call and WhatsApp for every follow-up message. They build relationships over months. Then they resign — and in Dubai’s market, they resign more often than most cities in the world. If you want to stop using personal phones for business calls, a PBX mobile app is the only solution that keeps the number, the recordings, and the contacts on your server.
The customer contacts, the chat history, the call patterns, the relationship — all of it walks out the door on a personal phone that you have no access to. The new salesperson starts from zero. Worse, some clients are already being contacted by the departing employee on behalf of their new employer. You had no system to prevent it because there was no system at all — just personal phones doing company work.
A PBX mobile app solves this permanently. Every business call goes through the company number. Every call is recorded on the company server. When a salesperson leaves, you reassign the extension to their replacement. The new person inherits the number, the call history, and the recordings. Clients call the same number and reach the new person. No disruption, no lost contacts, no competitive risk.
This is not about controlling your team. It is about protecting your business relationships from being tied to a personal phone that belongs to someone who may not be here next quarter.
Every Reason Your Team Might Not Be in the Office — Covered
A remote work phone system is not a luxury. It is business continuity infrastructure. Whether your team works from home by choice, by policy, or because they have no other option — these are the situations where a PBX mobile app is the difference between a business that keeps running and one that goes quiet.
Office Closed — Any Reason
Building maintenance. Power outage. Government work-from-home directive. Road closures. Whatever empties the office, the PBX keeps running on UPS power. Staff receive calls on their mobile app from home. IVR menus still greet callers. Voicemail-to-email still delivers. Your business is open even when your office door is locked.
Owner or Manager Overseas
You are visiting family in India. Your business partner is in Pakistan for Eid. Your operations head is handling a supplier visit in China. Each of you answers your Dubai office extension from your phone. Clients reach you on the same number. You run your Dubai business from your home country as if you never left.
Hybrid & Remote Work
Your finance team works from home on Wednesdays. Your developer works remotely from Sharjah full-time. Your HR manager splits between Dubai and Abu Dhabi. Each answers their office extension from the app. Internal calls are free. External callers reach them on the company number. No personal numbers shared.
Multi-Site & Branch Connectivity
Head office in Business Bay. Warehouse in Al Quoz. Showroom in Deira. One PBX system, one extension plan, free internal calls between all locations. A warehouse manager walking the floor answers the same extension as at their desk. No separate phone system per location. No forwarding to set up. It just works.

What Our Clients Say
Dubai businesses running their office number from anywhere.
"Our MD is based in Kerala three months of the year. He used to miss calls or clients got voicemail. Now his Dubai 04 number rings on his phone in India. He answers, the client has no idea he's not in the office. That's exactly what we needed."
"We have a Sharjah office and staff spread across four emirates. The 3CX app means every team member is on the same system regardless of where they are working. Call transfers work, the IVR routes correctly, and we have full call records. VDS set it all up in two days."
"Abu Dhabi office, staff partially remote. The Grandstream Wave app works on Etisalat data without any issues — that was our main concern. Calls are clear, the Dubai number shows on outgoing calls, and the setup was done remotely by the VDS team in one afternoon."
Work From Home Phone System Dubai — Common Questions
Can I use my Dubai office number from India?
Yes. The mobile app connects to your Dubai PBX over any internet connection. You make and receive calls on your Dubai 04-xxx number from Mumbai, Delhi, Kerala, or anywhere in India. Callers see your Dubai number. Works on Jio, Airtel, or any data connection. Same applies for Pakistan, Philippines, UK, or any country worldwide.
What happens to my office phone when nobody is in the office?
Your PBX runs on UPS backup. Calls route to mobile apps on your team’s phones automatically — at home, in another emirate, or overseas. IVR menus still answer. Voicemail-to-email still delivers. Your customers experience zero interruption.
How do I forward my Dubai office phone to my mobile?
You don’t need to. The PBX mobile app registers your phone as a live extension. Your Dubai number rings on the app and your desk phone simultaneously. You answer whichever is closest. No manual forwarding to set up — it is always on, always connected.
Can I keep my Dubai number if I leave the country?
Yes. Your Dubai phone number stays active on the PBX in your office. The app connects from anywhere in the world. Whether you are away for two weeks or three months, your Dubai number works as normal. Clients call the same number and reach you.
Is this legal in the UAE?
Yes. The app routes calls through your licensed Etisalat or du SIP trunk — the same carrier as your desk phones. The TDRA restriction targets unlicensed consumer VoIP apps. A PBX softphone is a remote extension of your office system — fully legal and TRA-compliant.
How fast can you set up a work from home phone system?
3 business days: site survey, hardware delivery from Dubai stock, PBX configuration, and mobile app setup for all users. Emergency installations in 48 hours for businesses that need remote access immediately.
What does it cost?
A 10-user system with PBX, phones, mobile app setup, and installation starts from AED 4,500. SIP trunk from Etisalat or du is arranged separately by your business. The app itself is free — Grandstream Wave permanently, Yeastar Linkus on LAN, 3CX with licence. Full pricing →
Why should I stop using personal phones for business?
WhatsApp voice calls are blocked in the UAE — but your team still uses personal mobile numbers for business calls and personal WhatsApp for messaging clients. When they leave, the personal number and the WhatsApp chat history go with them. A PBX app puts every call on the company number, records it, and keeps the data on your server. The employee goes — the data stays.
Can my manager monitor calls when the team works from home?
Yes. Every call through the app is recorded and logged exactly like desk phone calls. Managers access call recordings, CDR reports, and live monitoring from the PBX web interface — from the office or from home. Full visibility regardless of where staff are located.
Does the app work on Etisalat and du connections?
Yes. Works on Etisalat mobile data, du mobile data, office WiFi, home broadband, hotel WiFi, and any internet connection worldwide. The app connects to your PBX through your licensed SIP trunk. No special configuration per ISP.
The Next Time Your Office Goes Empty,
Your Phone System Should Already Be Ready.
Whether it is a building closure, a government directive, a family trip home, or simply a Wednesday when half the team works from home — your phone system should handle all of it without you thinking about it. A modern IP PBX with a mobile app does exactly that. Starting from AED 2,500.
Free site survey. 3-day installation. Fixed AED pricing. 1,000+ systems installed across the UAE since 2010.
