eSIM on du: setup in five minutes

Steps

1. Check the handset supports eSIM and is not carrier-locked.
2. In the du app, choose line > switch to eSIM (or buy an eSIM plan for a visitor).
3. Scan the QR in Settings > Cellular > Add eSIM; label the line (Work/Home).
4. Keep the old line active for the first hour in case activation needs a retry, then delete the old profile.
5. For travel, add the roaming or destination data pack before you fly, not at the gate.

Activating a new du SIM or line

Steps

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

Contract ending: your three options

Steps

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

This section is written to answer: contract; renewal; upgrade; downgrade; expiry.

Cancelling du home internet or a mobile line

Steps

1. Check the contract end date in the app - cancelling after month 24 avoids the penalty entirely.
2. Request the cancellation form (or use the app path) and get the reference number for the request.
3. Return or arrange collection of rented router/TV boxes; keep the receipt.
4. Pay the final settlement, which may include one month in advance plus device charges.
5. 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.

This section is written to answer: cancel; terminate; unsubscribe; cancellation fee; close.

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

1. 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.
2. If the committed time passes, ask for a supervisor and for the written response, naming the missed commitment and requesting the credit schedule.
3. 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.
4. 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 getting connected case on this site, because the order is what changes the outcome - not the words you happen to use.
