The answer changed twice in the last year (tiers and the business bundles), so anything older than the checked stamp on this page is a suspect. The snapshot date at the top is part of the claim.

eSIM on du: setup in five minutes

An eSIM removes the plastic, which matters for a visitor landing at DXB or a second line for work. The line provisions from an QR or the app, and it keeps your number if you convert a physical SIM.

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.

Activating a new du SIM or line

Activation is an identity step, not a technical one: the SIM is live once the Emirates ID/passport check clears, and most "SIM not working" tickets are an unregistered line or a locked device.

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.

This section is written to answer: activate; activation; sim; register; emirates id.

du home internet not working - the 5-minute check

Nine times out of ten a dead du line is the optical signal, not your Wi-Fi. Look at the router: a solid or blinking red LOS/light means no signal is reaching your home, so the fix is at the ONT or the street cabinet and needs du to reschedule a technician. If the power and WAN lights are green and only Wi-Fi is dead, it is local and you can fix it yourself.

Steps

Check the light pattern first: power, WAN/optical, Wi-Fi. Red optical = line fault, not a settings problem.
Restart once - unplug the router for 30 seconds, not 5, then wait 3 minutes for the ONT to re-register.
Look for a known outage in your area before touching settings (du app > support, or the status thread for your building).
If the optical cable or the small white ONT box was knocked (cleaning, moving furniture), reseat the blue-tipped fibre connector gently - never bend it.
Still red after a reboot? Open the du app and raise a fault so the ticket timestamp starts now; escalate to us on WhatsApp and we will chase the job number.

This section is written to answer: outage; line down; no internet; los; ont.

Checking du prepaid balance and data

Balance and data are two different numbers, and running out of one does not stop the other - which is why "my internet stopped but I have credit" is so common. The USSD menu, the app, and an SMS all report the same counters.

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.

This section is written to answer: balance; prepaid; recharge; top up; data left.

How this page was built

Plan names, prices and offer wording are read from verified resources, checked on 2026-09-12 20:27 UTC. Procedures follow the du Help Center articles named under each section. Demand figures - the search volumes in the tables - come from a licensed UAE search-demand dataset, which is where the "real searches" phrasings are taken from. Where a number depends on your address, your wall box or your contract start, the page says a quote is needed instead of estimating it. Nothing on this page is scraped from an aggregator or copied from another comparison site. Applied to Is dubai airport closed explained properly, with the numbers.
