- Check the handset supports eSIM and is not carrier-locked.

- Scan the QR in Settings > Cellular > Add eSIM; label the line (Work/Home).

Activating a new du SIM or line
Steps
- Register with Emirates ID (residents) or passport (visitors) at a store, kiosk or through the app.

- 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.

Getting a new du line installed
Steps
- Confirm the address is serviced (we can check; the out-zone list matters for offers).
- Choose fibre if the building is wired - self-install 5G if it is not, or you are renting short-term.
- Book the visit with someone present and building access sorted; NOC delays are usually about access, not labour.
- Test every room on day one and log the numbers before you sign off - that becomes your baseline.
- Ask what is included: router model, TV box, installation fee, activation charge.

Checking du prepaid balance and data
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.
