Troubleshooting Common Issues

  • Activation Failure: Please make sure that your prepaid balance is at least AED 2 when your activation fails. If the activation isn’t working and your balance is ok, try restarting your phone or contacting du customer support.
  • Incorrect Balance Deduction: If you see that your balance is being deducted for something it shouldn’t, look for any hidden apps which could be using data in the background. You can turn off auto updates and background syncing so that your data isn’t unnecessarily used.
  • Slow Internet Speed: If you’re finding that your internet speeds are slow, try testing your connection in other locations. You can also switch between 3G and 4G modes in your phone’s network settings to see if it’s faster.

Maximizing Your du Daily Data Bundle

  • Use Data-Saving Browsers: Downloading lightweight browsers (for example Opera Mini) can help you to utilize less of your data when browsing. These browser compress data so you can get more out of less data.
  • Turn Off Background Data: If you don’t need to save data, force apps not to update automatically, and disable data syncing in the background. Although many apps consume data when you are not using them, controlling these settings will help you stay within your daily data limit.
  • Stream Smartly: If you are streaming videos or music, make sure to choose standard definition (SD) instead. For example, all we have to do is to adapt to the mode of data saver on YouTube which reduces the data being used without the loss of much of video quality.
  • Monitor Usage Regularly: Use DU app, or phone’s settings to regularly track your data usage. Keeping track of your usage will keep you from going over and keep you within budget.
