Activating a new du SIM or line
Steps
- Register with Emirates ID (residents) or passport (visitors) at a store, kiosk or through the app.
- Insert the SIM, restart the phone, wait for the network SMS - that is the activation signal.
- For a postpaid number transfer, complete the port request with the losing operator details.
- If the phone shows "no service", test the SIM in another handset to separate device from line.
- Visitors: a tourist line has a fixed life; extend or convert before it expires.

Checking du prepaid balance and data
Steps
- Dial the balance code from the du line for credit, or use the app for data remaining.
- For data-only bundles, the app shows the valid-until date, which is where most confusion sits.
- Emergency credit and top-up behave differently by plan - check before relying on it.
- Set an auto-renew or a low-balance alert so a hotspot does not die mid-download.
- If the number looks wrong, refresh by restarting the phone - the balance cache is on the device.

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.

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
- 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.
- If the committed time passes, ask for a supervisor and for the written response, naming the missed commitment and requesting the credit schedule.
The same ladder is used for every getting connected case on this site, because the order is what changes the outcome - not the words you happen to use.
