DU Du WIFI ID renewal

few months ago I made the mistake of switching to Du WIFI Services.

The Du representative registered my account as 5G while I asked for 4G.

Even when I pointed it out he said that it is the same device but depends on the contract. long story short I was fooled. Im paying for 5G services that my area doesnt cover...and Du call center said that whatsapp correspondence is not legal documentation.

recently my Wifi is acting up ( worse than usual). and figured that ID is expired.

Wanted to update my ID...that Representative registered my WIFI Acoount on his mobile number and put my personal number as alternative.

Meaning I cant change the mobile number from the Du app or website account.

Desired outcome: - a swift and simple update of my ID.- sending a tech to my house to check the connectivity problems.- fix my registration to 4G not 5G as I requested originally.

DU Registration of Emirates ID

Took a new sim on 19 January with passport and work visa.

On 4th February the sim got suspended.

My Emirates ID was printed on 10 February and delivered on 17 February. Since then I’m trying to register my Emirates ID with number so that it can start working as before. But it’s not happening at any of the stores. Plea Assist on priority as the number was given for banking purposes and now it’s not working.

No. [protected] and you can reach me at alternate no. [protected]

DU Home wireless internet

I subscribed to the home wireless service for a year, it was a really bad experience, the internet was very slow until the normal browser did not respond easily. Several days before the end of the contract, I told them that I do not want the service after the end of the contract. They told me that I have to pay an additional amount for cancellation. I told them that I do not want to cancel now, but I do not want the service after the end of the contract. They refused, and they told me that I have to apply request for cancellation on the same day as contract ended. Therefore, on the same day of the end of the contract, I submitted a request for cancellation and paid the final bill, but after several days the service was not cut off, so I sent them an email informing them of this, and they told me that my request is under review and I will be notified of this (although the contract has expired) after several days someone for Du called me and told me that we are sorry for the previous service and we want to increase the speed of internet. I refused and told him I do not trust you anymore. Therefore, since the account is in my wife's name, the Du guy told me that he wanted to speak to my wife so that he could cancel the contract. I told him that the request I submitted to them was from my wife's account, and the email that was sent to them was from my wife's email (registered in the account) and since the contract is expired, why all this prevarication? Anyway I gave him my wife's contact number and he tried again to get her to extend the contract again. Why all this equivocation? Very bad company.

Desired outcome: I did not benefit from the previous internet, I paid a large amount for nothing. The company is dishonest in its dealings and services.

DU Product and services

Sadly, in spite of being a loyal DU customer for over 15 years, such regretful services from DU.
My EID expired on 25 Jan 2023. I uploaded the renewed EID on 25-Jan-2023.
DU suspended my services on 25th Jan 2023 without any prior notification.
I was completely stranded. My mobile was dead. I couldn’t receive calls, make calls, send messages etc.
On 27th Jan it’s when I called DU, they told me my services suspended as uploaded EID rejected.
None from DU could advise reason for rejection, but very easily said visit the nearest DU store.
I explained am unable to visit DU store as my original EID is yet to be received via Empost.
DU staff is discourteous, their replies are very generic and unfavorable.
If there was an issue with my uploaded EID, DU should call and notify the customer and not just barring their services.
Am still helpless and stranded, it’s the 4th day today (28th Jan). My mobile is dead & cannot be used at all.
What should a customer do in such cases? DU please go that extra mile and assist customers.
It’s totally unaccepted, DU disconnected my services, but will definitely charge me for the barred period as well.
Totally irresponsible, does not offer prompt assistance and feasible solutions to customers
DU never highlights their processes and procedures to customers in advance.
It’s emphasized only once the services are disrupted or customers are overcharged.

Desired outcome: I believe my message is explicit. I am not liable for suspension of my mobile services. DU to restore the same ASAP. Thank you

DU TV packages

Good day

I was sold an upgrade to my existing package last year and this included an upgrade of the TV Package to include recording feature.
It is now month's later and I have spent numerous calls and times with your call centre to escalate this matter.
I am being charged additional for a recording function that does not work.

I asked for the service then to be downgraded as you could not provide what you offered and I was advised I could not as I was in contract.
Surely this is not my fault, as contractually it is Du who is in breach of not providing the agreed service, yet expect prompt payments each month.

Next issue, I have requested my billing date to be changed to 31st of each month as that is my payment date but was again advised this cannot be done. Unfortunately I cannot control my salary date but yet once again Du does not assist.

Desired outcome: Escalation and re-imbursement for paying for a service Du cannot provide: TV recording.Payment date to be changed accordingly.Explanation as to why I have to spend months, and numerous time and calls but I never receive feedback.

DU Business prepaid account

Dear Team,

I would like to highlight and express that I am deeply disappointed with the worst service in my life that is being provided by your team.

I have been a customer of DU for a number of years and I had applied for a business account with you in April 2022. Since May 2022 I have been having issues with my bill where your billing department was overcharging every month since May 2022. So once my bill is generated I have to contact your team and spend an hour explaining the issue (WHICH IS A WASTE OF MY TIME AND ENERGY) and then they say they will inform the technical department and they will call me back. In the meantime, DU deactivates my services due to nonpayment (which obviously I will not pay since the amount is WRONG) and then they call me or I have to call them again and resolve the problem. This has been happening since May (EVERY MONTH).

Now this problem has been happening since november but till now they have not resolved the issue and the bill is showing double the amount i need to pay as confirmed by your customer service agent ( Mr. Suresh). Also they have deactivated my services for the full month of December and January and they want me to pay for these months! I have also gone to the branch manager at Mirdiff City Center (Dubia) to explain the issue and get a resolution but till now nothing has happened.

I cannot believe that this is the service that a customer is entitled to in your organization.

Please resolve it on priority as I will be forced to go to consumer rights and file a legal complaint.

My details:

Name: Lester Nelson Rodrigues

Primary Account: 4.1258.13.00.100277

Numbers:

+[protected]

+[protected]

Looking forward to your immediate response and resolution.

Thank you,

Desired outcome: I want my bill to be rectified and all the additional charges to be removed.Also for the months where my services were deactivated i want by bill not to reflect those amounts.

DU Contract Renewal with DU

I have been trying to renew my DU mobile phone plan for the past couple of weeks. Each time I call, I am being told that this time it will surely be renewed and that it will not take more than 24 hours. I have no choice but to use the package which DU automatically assigned to me which is clearly not beneficial to clients. Poor service and lack of customer care. Extremely disappointed.

DU Wrong information about internet wireless plan

I live in Dubai - UAE, I have 4G wireless Internet service from Du for 199AED+VAT since March 2022, Du promoted for 5G wireless Internet for the same price later on, I called the customer service on 07/01/2023 and asked them if they can upgrade my existing plane the 4G to 5G with the same price, they said yes, and they sent me new router which support 5G, same day I received email that monthly charges for the 5G is 313AED including the VAT, I raised several complaints and they sent some one to collect the 5G router on 11/01/2023, and they cancelled the plan, but they charged me 1736AED for early cancellation for a wirless plan I didn't ask for it and they suspended my 4G wireless plan. the worse company and customer service, unprofessional people and lack of experience. I asked them to get back to the call records where I asked for upgrade with the same price 199AED and until now they didn't solve the problem.

I raised several inquiries and each time different person call me and ask me what is the problem.

DU End of home wireless broadband

Honestly. If I could give it no stars I would. This is by far the most disorganized company I've ever experienced. The customer service is incredibly disjointed and non-existent. No one responds to emails, and talking to them on the phone or logging any complaints in person is also useless. I tried to cancel a contract with them for home broadband after having no service for 3months. No one responded to the emails I sent. And when I finally went in person to log the complaint, nothing came of it. I was eventually contacted by telephone several months later to settle the final bill which by the way was generated despite not having any internet access for 3months. I assumed this was the end but that was very naive of me. Four months later I'm still receiving phone calls and emails to recover an additional dhs1000+ which apparently is still outstanding. And everyone I call has a different story and different advice to give, but nothing that actually comes to fruition. First I was told it would be waived and cancelled as it was auto generated and so ignore any further calls or messages, which I did. Then I was told this was generated for October, November and December. And when I pointed out the contract was cancelled in October, I was then told it will be cancelled at the next billing cycle. When that didn't happen and I started receiving emails and texts with legal threats from the collections and recovery team, I was told there is no record of the payment, nor the phone call by which payment was made, despite me having a bank receipt to prove it. I sent the receipt to the email address I was given by a manager and was told I would get a response in 2days. When I didn't get that response, I was told as the email was auto generated, that email address is unmanned and that I would receive within 24hrs a test email from a manager in which to send the receipt to. I'm still waiting for this.

Then I was told again by a different team, that there is no record of payment made or phone call but the follow up call clearly states that the supposed outstanding amount was due to be waived in December as payment had been done early in the month and it would now be waived in February. When I asked for this in writing, I was declined and after repeatedly asking was told I would speak with a supervisor within 2hrs. The whole thing is a circus. Their teams don't speak to each other. They essentially rely on people paying money that they don't owe out of frustration. DONT GET A CONTRACT WITH THEM. YOU WILL REGRET IT!

Desired outcome: Waived fees and no further calls or emails

DU Deactivated sim

+[protected]

2.12.2022. I bought a du prepaid sim for tourists with 6 GB of data + 30 min of talk time. 23.12. I renewed the same package. 24.12.2022. I was left completely without network, even without the possibility to contact du on the number 505.25.12. at their store in Abu Dhabi Mall they informed me that my sim card has been deactivated and I can buy a new one. Since I didn't have my passport with me, I couldn't do that. Subsequently, in an online chat with the customer service, I found out that even if I buy a new card, they will not return the money spent for the recharge. I did not receive any notification that my sim would be deactivated. They did not offer any option other than losing money and buying a new card. Poor and shameful. Shameful way of customer stealing

Desired outcome: Reactivated sim with 6 GB and 30 min calls immediately. I don't have the ability, will or desire to visit your stores

DU Scam

Again I am raising my complain to this account 1.[protected]. I have raised this complain last Oct 15 and still I didn’t get any solution. I had called frequent times and your customer service told me that your billing team will call me back and give solution on this But no one from your billing team called.

The reason I subscribed to this plan is because your third party agent Ms. Jana (+[protected]) promised me that once I subscribed to new postpaid plan, she will book for me iphone 14 pro max (256GB) and device team will call me for delivery. Since that day I haven’t receive any call and unit as well. This is so frustrating and then now you charged me for this plan even I am not using it. I have an existing number and been a Du consumer for long time with [protected] and I have better package.

It’s been more 3months now. And no one is attending my concern. I don’t want this new plan because I have existing number.

This is a scam and fraud!

I will not pay anything for this account.

Please need your action on this.
