Besides the bidders interested in buying numbers for themselves, also present there were agents who performed the role of bidders on behalf of others and kept calling them on mobile phones throughout the auction’s time.
The numbers were in E-Code, and the number that fetched the highest bid was (28), bought for Dh720,000. The No. (29) following, fetching Dh670,000.
