Cost of 5g network in etisalat - what decides it
This phrasing sits inside a cluster with 117 related UAE queries - the busiest measured at 260 searches a month. That matters: a page written for one exact wording answers faster than a generic category page.
Price questions go wrong in three predictable places - the VAT line, the promo end date, and the one-off activation fee. Each one gets its own number below, not a "starting from".

du APN settings that actually matter
Steps
- Android: Settings > Network > Access Point Names > reset to default before typing anything.
- iPhone: it normally configures itself - if not, reset via Settings > Cellular > Cellular Data Options.
- du 5G router: log in to 192.168.1.1, WAN > APN, leave blank/default unless the SIM was moved from another operator.
- Reboot after changing; an APN edit only applies at the next attach.
- If data works but MMS or hotspot fails, that is a second APN entry (mms/hiprio), not the main one.

How to run a speed test that du will accept
Steps
- Connect one device with an Ethernet cable directly to the router.
- Turn off VPN and any other heavy device on the network.
- Run the du app speed test (or a test that stores a result ID) three times: morning, 8pm, midnight.
- Screenshot the result IDs plus your account number before you open the ticket.
- If the wired figure is under half your tier at midnight, that is a line fault - request a technician visit with those IDs.

Bill higher than expected: the four usual causes
Steps
- Open the bill PDF and read the "other charges"/"value added services" block, not just the total.
- Check whether the discounted period ended (promo lines show an expiry date).
- Look for third-party content/VAS lines - these are removable and often refundable for the first cycle.
- Compare the billing period start/end dates; a first or a change month can be 40+ days.
- Raise the dispute in writing (app or email) so there is a reference, and keep the meter reading/receipt if it is a device plan.

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.
Does the landline number actually stay the same?
Can I get the discount AND 3 months free?
This section is written to answer: landline migration; number port; etisalat switch; fixed line waiver; business internet.
