Contract ending: your three options
Steps
- Check the exact end date in the app; the renewal window opens before the cliff.
- Compare your real usage for 3 months (data, peak speed, devices) before choosing a tier.
- Ask what retention offer exists at renewal; do not accept the first standard price.
- If moving out of the UAE or switching for coverage, port-out rather than let it lapse.
- Send us the current bill and we will price the same tier against what is on offer now.

What a du connection actually costs per month
Steps
- Ask for the post-promo monthly price, not the intro price - the contract is what you pay for 24 months.
- Confirm whether the AED figure excludes the 5% VAT and the one-off activation/installation fees.
- Check if the router is included, rented or purchased; a "free router" is usually a rented unit you return on exit.
- For fibre, confirm the building riser is live before paying an install-related charge.
- Send us the address and the tier and we will pull the current published quote for that exact combination.

Switching a business line from Etisalat to du with the same landline number - what 3 months free really saves
Steps
- Check the landline number and account-name match on the Etisalat bill - the port request must carry identical details.
- Tell the account manager explicitly: migration with number retention, not a new installation - a new install defaults to promo pricing and loses the waiver question entirely.
- Ask for both totals written on the proposal: discounted-12-month vs waiver-12-month, and tick the cheaper one.
- Keep the Etisalat service live until the agreed port date so the internet does not dip during cutover.
- If Etisalat is still inside its minimum term, read their cancellation terms before scheduling.

What is my Username?
Checklist before you contact support
- Note the exact error text or light pattern, with the time
- One wired test over ethernet - keep the result and the figure
- Restart count and what changed after it (for the record, not for the technician)
- Account number and card status in the app, screenshot first
- Ask for the fault record number and the committed fix time
Mistakes that cost people money
- Resetting the router before documenting the fault - it erases evidence
- Describing the issue as "internet down" instead of the exact signal
- Accepting a verbal close without a reference number
If you need to escalate
- If the committed time passes, ask for a supervisor and for the written response, naming the missed commitment and requesting the credit schedule.
- Only then move to the formal complaint route with the whole thread attached. Regulators ask what the operator said, so the operator answer is your document.
- Take the evidence, not the adjective: one wired test at the time the fault happens, with the date and the figure, plus the indicator state. That is what changes the queue you are put in.
- Ask for a fault record and a reference number in writing, and ask what the committed resolution time is - then do not close the ticket when someone calls to say it is done.
The same ladder is used for every activation & changes case on this site, because the order is what changes the outcome - not the words you happen to use.

How this page was built
Plan names, prices and offer wording are read from verified resources, checked on 2026-09-12 20:27 UTC. Procedures follow the du Help Center articles named under each section. Demand figures - the search volumes in the tables - come from a licensed UAE search-demand dataset, which is where the "real searches" phrasings are taken from. Where a number depends on your address, your wall box or your contract start, the page says a quote is needed instead of estimating it. Nothing on this page is scraped from an aggregator or copied from another comparison site. Applied to Du internet speed slow - what it means and the steps that clear.
