Internet at home in Dubai is very expensive, but if you use Promotions, you can get Internet at your home at a very low cost. Such opportunities do not come often as UAE Telecom companies occasionally launch promotions that are for a limited time. Etisalat, DU, and Virgin Telecom networks in the United Arab Emirates are offering unlimited internet for 200 dirhams per month.
Any landline connection requires an advance fee, but using 5G devices, you can instantly install the connection at your home. It does not require any kind of technique or experience.
Etisalat Home Internet Plan:
- With unlimited internet at AED 199 a month
- 12-month contract
- One free Wi-Fi device and SIM card
- Home delivery in 24 hours
Etisalat has provided a home Wi-Fi connection facility for Dh199 for residents of the United Arab Emirates. All you have to do is pay Dh199 per month after which your internet will continue to work as per the contract for a whole year. The original price of this plan is AED 399 per month which will be applicable after 12 months of the contract.
Here’s how to order it:
- Go to the Etisalat website and select the AED 199 Home Wi-Fi plan
- Select the contract
- Select Device 4G or 5G
- Click on Process Order and enter your home address
- Enter the card details and pay the amount
- Within 24 hours, the Etisalat Home Wi-Fi device will arrive at your provided address along with a SIM card.
DU Home Wireless Plan:
- Dh199/month
- A 5G router
- A SIM card
- Unlimited Internet for 12 months
- Free delivery in 24 hours
DU is offering its customers the same offer as Unlimited Internet on a 12-month contract. Under this plan, you will have to pay AED 199 per month, which will be AED 245 per month after the 12-month contract expires. If you do not renew the contract, you may have to pay a fine of 1000 dirhams.
Virgin Wi-Fi Plan:
- Dh125 per month
- A 5G router (AED 600)
- A SIM card
- Unlimited Internet for 12 months
If you buy this plan for 12 months, you will have to pay an Upfront fee which is around Dh1500. Also, if you need a router, you can get a router (optional) by paying a fee of AED 600. Virgin Wi-Fi is available at AED 125 per month, but after the 12-month contract ends, it costs AED 250 a month, which means you’ll have to pay a 12-month fee of around AED 3,000.
According to Virgin, you can use their provided SIM card anywhere and in any router, but there is no guarantee that it will be compatible.
Which of these connections is good?
Determining this depends on your needs, and which services and features you want. In terms of promotions, Virgin is currently offering the cheapest internet at AED 125 a month, but you have to pay an upfront cost of AED 1,500 and the router fee separately. Similarly, the total router installment will be combined at AED 175 per month, which is still less than the 12-month contract from DU and Etisalat.
How to set up a 5G router at Home?
When you order a home Wi-Fi connection from any telecom operator, you get a SIM card along with it. You have to insert this card into the device and plug the device. When it starts giving Wi-Fi signals, you have to connect to Wi-Fi by looking at the password given at the bottom of the router.
Make sure to always place the router in an open area with a window so that it doesn’t have problems receiving signals. If you are facing a problem in sim activation then you can contact your telecom provider immediately.
The company locks the router in one location after which you cannot move it to another one. To change home location, you first need to contact your provider and provide them with the information about the new location, after which your internet will start working.
