Porting a number to or from du (MNP)
Porting is recipient-led: the operator you are moving to owns the request, so you file with them, not with the one you are leaving. Inside the UAE the number usually moves within a day, and the losing operator cannot block it - but an unpaid bill or an active commitment can.

Do this, in order
- 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.
