Transferring ownership of SIM card to another name(PRE PAID)- in UAE-Du & Etisalat
Transferring ownership of SIM card to another name(PRE PAID)- in UAE-Du & Etisalat
There may be occasions where you will need to change the ownership of SIM.It is a very easy process and I will explain how for both Du & Etisalat Pre paid connections.
• First of all you have to visit the Du/Etisalat customer care centers/offices which are available all across UAE in all major malls and elsewhere
• For Du you are required to have a minimum balance of 10 AED in your account.If not its better to recharge before going. This 10 AED will be taken as charge towards the transfer of ownership. For Etisalat however, you need to pay 50 AED at the counter for transfer of ownership.
• For Du any balance you have in your account other than the 10 to be used as fee will also be gone so its better to keep it just above 10 AED,in addition any offers you may have will also be gone.For Etisalat you are not required to have any minimum balance in your account for transfer as you are paying separately but in this case also all balances and offers in your account will be gone after the transfer.
• Both persons (from and to transfer) needs to have an ID document,Emirates ID in particular.I’m not sure whether any other ID documents will be accepted.but if you have Emirates ID , its better to carry it with you.
• Its just a matter of 10 minutes at the counter and you will have your SIM working again within 1-4 hours normally.
• As of now, this process cannot be done online and you are required to visit an offline center.
• And,You have your SIM transferred.....PEACE.. 😎
