Do it
- 1
Check which network wires your building
Most buildings are exclusive to either e& or du, ask the landlord or concierge, or enter the address on both sites.
- 2
Order online with Emirates ID + Ejari
Pick the plan, upload documents, choose an install slot. Contracts are typically 12 months, note the early-exit fee.
- 3
Be home for the install
Usually within a week. The engineer brings the router and TV box if bundled.
- 4
Cancel properly when you leave
Visit a store or cancel in-app, return the equipment, and get the clearance, unreturned routers bill at full price.
Words you'll hear
Ejarieh-JAR-ee
RERA's official tenancy register. An unregistered lease barely exists legally. No DEWA, no family visas, no disputes.
Common questions
Can I choose my provider?
Usually not, most buildings are wired for either e& or du, not both. Check which one your tower runs before comparing plans that don't apply to you.
Why do they want my Ejari?
Proof of tenancy is part of the install, another reason Ejari registration happens in week one.
Is home 5G a real option?
Yes. both operators sell 5G home routers with same-day setup and no technician. Slightly pricier per gigabyte, genuinely useful while you wait for fibre.
