DU du services

Dear Team,

I have applied for new basic home lite package on 27/03/2018 now its been seven days i have no net, past two days i have constantly call the du call center. They are saying my complaint has been registered in the system on first day and second day. Also instructed me that an engineer will call me to take book of appointment. I am very disappointed with the du customer care service, before being your customer if this is how you are going to treat me, what will be my situation ones I become your customer. I have never faced so much of delay with Etisalat ever. Du have given me such a bad experience from the beginning itself i am very disappointed. And the person who i have applied my request is never responding at all, this person suppose to give me Mifi device on Thursday. He then said he will give me Saturday i said fine its now Monday and he never gave me till now. Above that he is not responding to my messages. I have got such a disgusting experience of customer care from du till now before being your customer. I am very disappointed. You tell me how are you going to top or handle my case.

DU internet calling

I recharged with Aed 110 online I got balance credited in my account then I requested for net call by sending an smd on 1355 which was activated and even my balance is deducted for 52.50 dhs but I am unable to make any calls using BOtim.

DU [protected] & [protected] - my call limit is set at aed.10000/-

I hold the above 2x numbers and the Call limit is set at Aed.10000/- which I do not want. I spoke to Customer care staff and visited the Sharjah City Center office but they said they cannot change as this is the minimum requirement.

My Du business plan is Aed.150 per month and I want to set my call credit at Aed.200. If its not possible I want to terminate this plan as this was not informed at the time of signing the contract. I consider this as a breach of trust from your side. So I will not pay the termination charges.

Regards,
Jackson Spadigam

DU deactivation not processed since december 2017. still receiving the bill!

My worse nightmare. Deactivation not done when requested in december 2017.. Bill still coming and du threatening me to pay or they will suspend the service... No, it is not a joke! It is du at his best!

I have interchanged several emails (about almost 20 now) with customer. [protected]@du. Ae, I have complained on their website, I have complaint to their tweet account... However, haven't received 1 call from du. Haven't received teh solution of my complaint... Nada! And the replies to my emails are so ridiculous, so "made up" and this is are my favorites: "your frustration and disappointment is clearly understood and it is appreciated that you were kind ‎enough to share this with us.‎" and this one: "note that the time frame for the staff complaint is 48 hours‎" (they clearly haven't noticed that it I have waiting for my service to be deactivated and to my deposit to come back to my wallet since december 2017). That's more than 48 hours, isn't it?

DU du fixed service

One of the third class service is DU. All staffs are lies. In trianing they teach to new staff how to lie and make money. DU is one of the biggest fraud company in Dubai. Where you can make one Buildng in six month but the du technician can not install one single internet. Moreover you just charged for Unknow reason. Staff name mention blow. Who lie more
Pooja (India)
Muhamad Fahad (Egyt)
Imaan Hassan (Some arab Ackent)
Karishna (India)
And they floor maneger all are illiterate.
My suggestion to all viewers please dont go to DU even Sim connections. They will charged you and keep you hold on immigration
Thanks

May ALLAH keep you save from DU

DU they deactivated my sim without information

I have purchased New DU SIM from Kalidiya Mall DU counter in Sep 2017 and submitted my ID once i got my Emirates ID and later in DEC 2017 my SIM suddenly stopped working. When i went to DU counter in Kalidiya the person was very Rude and said its a tourist SIM and gets deactivated after 3 months we cant do anything. Later next day morning i called customer care and i get the same answer and more over the executive was very rude and when i asked him for solution he is telling me i am not magician so this is how you train your employees and when i asked to speak to the manager i get the same answer he is busy and will give you a call.So i think first DU need to work on training there employees on how to treat the customers and provide proper information on the plans when they are selling the product not just sell and wash there hands . And just to upgrade there business the executive is telling me that if i put a request i can only get activated the same SIM via postpaid.

DU home services

Dear Du Customer Service,
Home Services
On July 2017 (around 24th but not very sure of the exact date) before my tenancy contract expires i have gone to DU office in Media City to cancel the home services and I have been informed that i can cancel it by calling Du Customer Care / Service and no need to go to office.
And so I called Du and requested to cancel my home services as i have shifted to a new premise(hotel apartment).
After couple of days i received a call from Du customer service saying why i am cancelling the home service, instead of cancelling i can keep the account active and i will only be charged with some 10 or 15 aed till i decided to use the services again.
As the new premise is providing wifi services at that time i declined to keep the account active but instead confirmed the cancellation as for what i will need to keep it on hold when i dont need it and if i need the services in any case then i will re apply. I was expecting the services was cancelled!
After a month we have had issues with wifi at the new premise and so the tenants have been advised to apply our own home services to Du. And so i applied.
During that time i have some outstanding balance with DU but ensured to pay on installment as the budget got tight due to transferring of the accommodation.

I have received notifications that i am being charged of some 365 (not sure of the exact amount but i have all in my phone) for applying the services and cancelling it.
I have applied yes but not activated for the reason that i have outstanding it was not approved, and every month same messages being sent to me and charges etc. I spoke with the customer service regarding this and they have assured to waive this off, the charges for application of a new service. But to my surprise when i visited Du (IBN BAtuta) it appeared that the account from the old premise is still active and i am being charged of the monthly usage which i have cancelled months ago!
I have raised complaint at Du customer service and ive been promised that they will issue complaint for wrong billing and get back to me. LAter i have been informed that they will have to do investigation and listen to the conversation done on the phone whether i cancelled it or i have requested to keep the line active( which is very impossible as i have requested to cancel!).
Later i received a call (4th or 5th November not very sure) saying the agent did not make the mistake and i have confirmed to keep the line active! ad for that i have to pay the outstanding!
Today (7th November) i received a call that i am being charged of about 600 aed for the cancellation of a 2 year contract home service which is another surprise to me! new surprises coming every time! I have also been informed today that due to the outstanding payment they will not be able to cancel my line as i have to pay first the full amount(August -oct bill!) again surprise!

I really need help here, i am being cornered and asking to pay for the services i have not even utilized!

I hope to hear postive response, whatever outstanding until end July is what is reasonable to be paid and not the months which i have not used considering i have cancelled already the line!

If the customer agent insist they are right, it is also fair that i hear the conversation took place on 24th July (somewhere around) and 29th July (not sure exact date, could be also before or after).

Regards

DU options to pay off overdue and now outstanding amount

I have emailed numerous of times asking du collections for an option to help pay if debt i.e. Payment plan or settlement plan. They refuse to offer any kind of help only to say no you must pay full amount. Well hello if I could pay it all I would ...why not be that extra special telelcommunivmcations company who cares for the needs of customers and help find a solution. I see a front where they want to suck you in as a customer and than you be come another number in their system. There is no compassion or understanding to find ways to retrieve money other than threaten with legal action saying I will be paying fees. Wouldn't it make sense to find a payment option than waste money and time in the courts. Oh and by the way I will refuse to pay court fees because I have been asking for ways since February 2017 and no help.
I have been with du for 7 years and you have the worst collection agents ever.
I had one agent be rude and unhelpful as if he is in the right and he is in a higher power not to help. I am now with etisilat and I prefer it because they understand.
Either help me to pay it off or I will follow behind with you taking me to court over 2, 800aed . P.s I have emails asking many times for options

I have a victim also of a du personnel, even you complaint for many times there's no help from them it will disregard all your complaint. I never used the sim card that the personnel gave to me. he said that there is a promotion and he give me a free sim card, that time I am explaining that I don't have any work and I am still searching a job.so he get may passport copy and he gave the post paid sim. after 3 days I went to DU branch in city center to report the case because I don't want to used it and i want to cancel the agreement. I am shocked because they said I need to pay 1, 500 for the termination fee of the contract and I complaint about that personnel which I gave the number of that person but its useless there nothing they can do about my situation. I was totally disappointed very angry. where on earth they fool the people. now they file a legal notice to me and my bill was 2, 051 dhs which is I did not used even once. now I realized that it was a scam for the du company that is not acceptable. I read a lot of cases same with my problem but I wondered there is no any legal action from the government about this company.

DU subscribed data not added

Please don't subscribe for this provider...they are taking 4 months to correct their procedures to give my subscribed data every month, even after Plethora of calls and repeated escalations I am not given my data. Clear gap of procedures and review into escalated calls. I am not even seeking a resolution for this as I am fed up and also I am switching to another provider.

DU du the worst service in the world

I even can not the imagin if there is another telecom carrier can be more rude to customer than Du. I dont want to complain about the high price and bad service of du. but last week even my service was suspended for many days just because before Du record my document unclearly. Du only send one SMS to me and ask me to shop to check account, then stop my service! at weekend i went to shop of Du update the my info, then i complained: it was not my fault but du stop my service and made me a lot loss due to that duration. Du must give me compensation!
The worst thing not end: 2 days later i got a call from du agent, i told my concern but she even shouted at me she just confirm du can not do any thing for me and then close the call!
this is maybe not the worst service i experienced because I am still using Du service. I think here no body will notice this message i would send it to different channel of social.

DU postpaid/pre order

I am a du customer from 2010.
I pre ordered the samsung note 8 on sept 16th. It said I am supposed to get 5-7 business days from the launch date (Sept 23rd). The du agent was at my office with his ipad and took all details including my credit card and id and registered the sim card passed it to me.
Did not hear anything from them until I started calling and complaining since I didn't receive my phone on time...
Today is oct 11th and finally they got to the bottom of it to find out the phone order was never actually submitted! They were quick to activate the sim and make me sign the contract and start charging me money but didn't even bother submit the order for the phone.
I advised that I do not want the phone anymore so they kept trying to convince and eventually said we can send the phone to aramex and you can go pick it up but I still demanded to cancel the service!
Finally they said ok we will cancel the phone order but we will not cancel the contract!
They will only reduce it to 6 months and I have to pay them 6 months for their terrible customer service.
I advised I will complain to tra and I want an official complaint reference number from them. The lady on the phone actually had the nerve to give me a smirky laugh and said work for word "you think if you complain to tra they will cancel the plan? They won't!"
I am taking this to tra and let's if this sort of behavior is allowed with customers.
Terrible service!
