du is one of two mobile network operators in the UAE, alongside Etisalat by e&, offering prepaid and postpaid plans, home internet, and international calling services. This hub brings together UAE Wow’s du guides in one place — covering balance checks, data packages, recharge codes, and account management for prepaid customers.
du prepaid customers rely on USSD codes for most day-to-day account tasks — checking balance, transferring credit, and activating data — rather than needing the app for quick actions. Knowing the right code saves a trip to the du store or a call to customer support for routine tasks.
Balance and Account Management
Check du Balance — The direct USSD code to check your prepaid balance instantly, plus what to do if the code doesn’t respond.
How to Check Data Balance in du — Separate from your main balance, checking remaining data allowance on prepaid and add-on packages.
du Number Check Code — Find your own du number when you’ve forgotten it, without needing to check a SIM package or receipt.
du Balance Transfer — Send credit to another du number, Etisalat number, or internationally, with codes and daily limits.
Data Packages and Recharge
du data packages range from single-day options to full monthly bundles, priced differently depending on validity and data volume.
du Monthly Data Package (50 AED, 28GB) — The most searched monthly data bundle, with activation code and validity details.
du Monthly Data Package (30 AED) — A lower-cost monthly option for lighter data users.
du 1GB Per Day for 28 Days — A daily-reset data structure rather than one large monthly allowance.
du Unlimited Data for 1 Day — A short-validity option built for single-day heavy usage.
du Free Data Code — Checking eligibility for promotional or loyalty-based free data offers.
du Home Internet Packages — Fixed-line and fiber packages, separate from mobile data plans.
International Calling and Tourist SIMs
du International Call Offers — Discounted per-minute rates to specific countries, activated through prepaid add-ons.
du Tourist SIM Activation — Getting a du SIM as a visitor, including documents required and activation steps.
Tourist SIMs carry different registration requirements than resident prepaid lines — a passport is typically sufficient, without needing an Emirates ID.
What’s Coming to This Hub
Additional du guides are in production, including the du loan and advance balance code, prepaid plan comparisons, and du versus Etisalat cost breakdowns for common usage patterns.
