How to Cancel Etisalat Internet Package — 10 Best Tips

How to Cancel Etisalat Internet Package

Eti­salat is one of the best telecom­mu­ni­ca­tion net­works in the UAE, offer­ing mobile, inter­net, land­line, TV, and home inter­net ser­vices. Many pre­paid and post­paid users sub­scribe to Eti­salat inter­net pack­ages but don’t know about their unsub­scrip­tion meth­ods.

There are many inter­net pack­ages that are auto-renewed after expi­ra­tion; most­ly, users have to issue bal­ance deduc­tions each time for the same ser­vice sub­scrip­tion. In this top­ic, we will tell you the 5 best steps to can­cel the Eti­salat Inter­net Pack­age.

How to Cancel Etisalat Internet Package

When you sub­scribe to any inter­net pack­age as per your require­ment, most of the pack­ages are auto­mat­i­cal­ly sub­scribed if there is a bal­ance in the SIM after expiry. Peo­ple who don’t need it again lose their bal­ance, which they get wor­ried about, and start look­ing for a way to get rid of it. Here, you will be told about dif­fer­ent meth­ods that you can use accord­ing to your con­ve­nience.

  • Write an SMS “C (space) Your­Bundle­Code” and send it to 1010
  • For exam­ple “C M1G” to 1010

You can also call 101 on the Eti­salat helpline and ask a cus­tomer rep­re­sen­ta­tive to deac­ti­vate the pack­ages on your SIM. They will check the details and unsub­scribe your active extra pack­ages after some ver­i­fi­ca­tions.

Deactivate Etisalat Packages and Services By Visiting the Store

After using all the giv­en meth­ods, if you fail to unsub­scribe and deac­ti­vate any pack­age on your SIM or phone, you can vis­it the Eti­salat store. You must bring your Emi­rates ID and con­tract form (if you have one) to can­cel the Eti­salat pack­ages and ser­vices.

Cus­tomer rep­re­sen­ta­tives will pro­vide you with a form for Eti­salat Inter­net can­cel­la­tion, which you have to fill out and pro­vide the rea­sons for can­cel­la­tion. After doing this, your inter­net con­nec­tion will be dis­con­nect­ed and deac­ti­vat­ed with­in a few hours. You will be informed through an SMS to your reg­is­tered mobile phone num­ber.
