Pay for parking in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah and Ajman by SMS. No account. No login. No wallet to top up. No internet needed. Pick your zone, we write the exact code, you hit Send. WHY IT DOESN'T FAIL • Carrier SMS, not a payment gateway. It works in an underground car park, on roaming, and when the official apps are down. • Nothing to sign up for. No password, no wallet balance to keep topped up, no card on file. • The fee lands on your mobile bill — Etisalat, du or Virgin. NO TYPO, NO FINE One wrong character in a hand-typed parking SMS is an AED 150 mistake. The app formats the message for you — plate, zone, hours, in the exact order the system expects. You read it, then you send it. WHERE IT WORKS • Dubai — RTA / Parkin zones, every letter • Abu Dhabi — Mawaqif, standard and premium • Sharjah — all municipality zones • Ajman, Ras Al Khaimah, Umm Al Quwain, Fujairah PLATES All seven emirates, plus Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman and Qatar. Save as many as you like and switch between the personal car, the rental and the company vehicle in one tap. BEFORE YOUR TIME RUNS OUT A Live Activity counts down on your Lock Screen, and an optional reminder warns you before the ticket expires — so you can extend instead of paying a fine. HOW IT WORKS 1. Choose the emirate 2. Enter your plate and zone number 3. Tap Send — the code is already written 4. The fee is charged to your mobile carrier bill LANGUAGES English, العربية, हिन्दी, Русский, Français, Deutsch, Українська, 中文 An independent app. Not affiliated with, or endorsed by, RTA, Parkin, Mawaqif, Sharjah Municipality, or any UAE government authority.
