Practical Advice

Tips for SMEs Choosing a du Plan

Not sure which plan fits your business? These tips help you pick the right one.

📊

Know Your Monthly Usage

Review your team's average data and call usage. If you use under 30 GB a month, a lighter plan saves money. If you stream video or use cloud tools daily, go unlimited.

👥

Use Shared Data Bundles

SME corporate plans allow multiple team members to share a single data pool. This is cheaper than giving everyone a separate individual plan.

🌍

Add Roaming If You Travel

If your team travels regularly, choose a plan with roaming data included — like Power Plan 500 or 1000 — rather than paying for individual roaming packs.

📈

Start Small, Scale Up

Begin with a mid-tier SME plan and upgrade when your usage grows. du makes switching between plans straightforward without losing your number.

📱

Use the du App

Monitor usage, set alerts at 75% and 85% thresholds, pay bills, and activate add-ons directly from the du app. It prevents surprise overage charges.

💡

Check Free Zone Coverage

du typically has a monopoly on free zones across Dubai. If your office is in a free zone, du is likely your primary — or only — telecom option.

FAQ

People Also Ask — du Business UAE

Quick answers to the most common questions about du's business services.

What is the best du business plan for SMEs in the UAE?
The Power Plan 500 (AED 500/month) is the most popular choice for SMEs. It includes unlimited 5G national data, 1,500 flexi minutes, and roaming data — enough for most business tasks without worrying about data caps. Smaller teams on a tight budget should start with the SME Plan 125 or Plan 200.
Is du 5G available across the UAE?
Yes. du covers 99% of the UAE with 5G. It is available in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, and most major areas. Indoor 5G is also deployed in offices, malls, and homes. Note that your device must be 5G-compatible to access 5G speeds.
What is the difference between du prepaid and postpaid business plans?
Prepaid plans are pay-as-you-go — you top up credit and use it. They are ideal for freelancers, short-term projects, or businesses with light data needs. Postpaid Power Plans charge a fixed monthly fee and offer more data, unlimited options, roaming, and team benefits — better value for businesses with regular or heavy usage.
Can du support enterprise cloud and AI needs?
Yes. du has invested AED 2 billion in a new hyperscale data centre with Microsoft Azure. It offers sovereign cloud, GPU-as-a-Service for AI/ML workloads, hybrid cloud integration, and AI-powered cybersecurity through its du Tech division. Enterprises in regulated sectors can also use du's National Hypercloud for UAE data residency compliance.
Does du offer roaming for business travellers?
Yes. du offers flat-rate roaming packages  covering 180+ international destinations. Higher-tier Power Plans (500 and above) include roaming data by default. You can also add roaming minutes and data as separate add-ons to lower-tier plans.
How do I choose between du and Etisalat for my business?
Your choice often depends on location. du has a monopoly in many UAE free zones, while Etisalat serves other specific geographic areas. If your business is in a du free zone, du is your primary option. For plan comparison outside free zones, compare pricing, 5G speed, and enterprise services side by side.
How can I manage my du business account?
You can manage everything through the du app or at newdu.ae. The app lets you monitor data usage, get alerts at 75%, 85%, and 100% of usage, pay bills, activate or change plans, and manage team SIMs under one corporate account.
