But First, a Word of Caution:
This service is a temporary fix, not a magic money tree. Think of it like borrowing a cup of sugar from your neighbor - it's a kind gesture, but don't make a habit of it! Remember, responsible budgeting is key to financial well-being.
Tip: Read slowly to catch the finer details.
Now, on to the good stuff! How to "borrow" from du:
There are two ways to access this handy service, both as simple as, well, making a call (when you have credit, of course).
Tip: Read once for gist, twice for details.
Method 1: Dialing the Magic Numbers
QuickTip: Don’t just scroll — process what you see.
- Whip out your phone and dial *108#.
- A menu will pop up. Press 2 (because apparently, 1 is for something else entirely).
- Voila! You'll be credited with AED 5, enough for a quick call or a short text message.
Method 2: Texting the Helpful Genie
QuickTip: Use CTRL + F to search for keywords quickly.

- Open your messaging app and send the number 5 to 1080.
- Just like magic (or maybe just some clever technology), you'll receive AED 5 credited to your account.
Important Note: This service is only available to prepaid du customers who have been with the company for at least 3 months and have used a minimum of AED 10 per month.
Here's the not-so-fun part:
There's a small fee attached to this service. You'll be charged AED 1 + 5% VAT which will be deducted from your next recharge.
So, remember: use this service wisely, and don't forget to top up your phone regularly to avoid future "borrowing" situations. After all, a good laugh with your bestie is priceless, but an unexpected phone bill can be a real downer.
