Moving home with du: relocation, not cancellation
Steps
- Check fibre availability at the new address before you book (we can run this for you in a minute).
- Raise a relocation request in the app or via 155 with both account addresses.
- Book a date; a technician installs at the new place and collects the old kit.
- Ask for the gap policy - if the new site is ready, the cut can be same-week.
- Update Emirates ID/address details afterwards so billing and the contract stay clean.

Cancelling du home internet or a mobile line
Steps
- Check the contract end date in the app - cancelling after month 24 avoids the penalty entirely.
- Request the cancellation form (or use the app path) and get the reference number for the request.
- Return or arrange collection of rented router/TV boxes; keep the receipt.
- Pay the final settlement, which may include one month in advance plus device charges.
- If you are switching to another operator for the same service, do not disconnect before the new line is live - book the port/install first.

Getting a new du line installed
Steps
- Confirm the address is serviced (we can check; the out-zone list matters for offers).
- Choose fibre if the building is wired - self-install 5G if it is not, or you are renting short-term.
- Book the visit with someone present and building access sorted; NOC delays are usually about access, not labour.
- Test every room on day one and log the numbers before you sign off - that becomes your baseline.
- Ask what is included: router model, TV box, installation fee, activation charge.
