Questions those pages raise but often leave open: When Should You Visit an e& Business Center for Postpaid Cancellation? - answered below against the published procedures.
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.

Porting a number to or from du (MNP)
Steps
- Make sure the number is active, Emirates ID valid, and no outstanding dues on the current line.
- Get a new SIM/eSIM from the operator you are joining and submit the port request there.
- Do not cancel the old line yourself first - that kills the port.
- Expect a short outage window during the swap; keep both phones charged and the account number to hand.
- For fixed lines and home internet, porting is not the same process - book the new install before you disconnect.

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
- Trade licence and establishment card copies ready (business lines)
- Owner EID or passport + visa page scanned
- The number(s) affected written exactly as they appear on the bill
- A quiet window for anything that touches the router config
- Written confirmation of completion before you close the request
Mistakes that cost people money
- Sending documents at low resolution - the #1 rework cause
- Starting a change near contract anniversary without reading the terms
- Assuming an SMS confirmation means the change is done
If you need to escalate
- 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.
- 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.
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.
