Dear questioner,

The decision by any telecom provider to file a legal case for an outstanding postpaid balance is at their discretion, and there is no single, fixed, publicly stated minimum balance for initiating a civil lawsuit.

If you have defaulted on the payment, it will be better to clear them. For more details, kindly share your WhatsApp number.

Any creditor, whether a telecom provider or another, has the right to file a lawsuit regardless of the claim amount — even if it is just one dirham.

However, measures such as issuing a travel ban or arresting the debtor only apply to amounts exceeding AED 10,000.
