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

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

- 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.
