DU 1GB Daily Internet Package – AED 5 for 24 Hours

A few days ago, I received a message from DU in which they sent me the details of a 24-hour internet package. So I thought, why not share it with you? As I always provide you with offers from DU, Etisalat, etc., this time too I am sharing with you the DU 1GB daily internet package. This package is designed to cater to a variety of data needs, perfect for those who require a consistent internet connection throughout the day. It’s an excellent option for anyone looking to stay connected without the commitment of a long-term contract. Be sure to compare it with similar offerings from other UAE mobile service providers to ensure you get the best deal available.

This gives you 1GB of local internet data for 24 hours, and its price is 5 AED. If you have the DU app installed, you can also activate it by going to the Special Packages section. Apart from this, I will also tell you the method using the USSD code.

If you are in a hurry, here are the details you need:

How to Activate DU 1GB Daily Package

There are two official ways to subscribe. I personally recommend the USSD code method as it is faster.

Method 1: USSD Code (Fastest)

  • Dial *055*01# from your mobile phone
  • A menu will pop up showing the AED 5 offer.
  • Reply with 1 to confirm.
  • Wait for the SMS confirmation before turning on your Mobile Data.

Tip: Make sure you have at least AED 5.25 in your balance. If you have exactly AED 5, the transaction might fail due to VAT.

Method 2: Via DU App
If the code shows “Connection Error” or “Not Eligible,” try this:

  1. Open the DU App.
  2. Go to “Buy Bundles” > “Data”.
  3. Look for “Daily Packs” and select the 1GB offer.

Who Should Get This Package

You can use 1GB data for any purpose. This package is best for users who:

  • Want to use data for a short time.
  • Low budget.
  • Need data in an emergency.

You can use it to browse WhatsApp, Facebook, all social apps and websites, and videos, games websites, etc.


Who is this package for?

This plan is perfect for short-term needs, but it’s not for everyone.

  • Best for: checking emails, Google Maps, WhatsApp, and light browsing for 24 hours.
  • Not for: Downloading movies or heavy gaming (1GB will vanish in minutes).

If you need more data, you can activate more packages available on du app and website.

Better Alternative: Need Data for Longer?
If you find yourself activating this package every day, you are losing money.

  • Daily Cost: AED 5 x 30 Days = AED 150/month.
  • Smart Saving: You should check the Du 90 GB Data Package which gives you data for 3 months for just AED 110. That is a huge saving!

How to Unsubscribe or Check Balance?

You should always check your balance and remaining data to avoid losing your balance.

To Check Balance: Dial *135#.
Usually, this is a one-time pack that expires automatically. However, if you see it renewing, dial *135# > Data Management > Stop Auto-Renewal.

How to Unsubscribe or Check Balance?
Many users forget to check their remaining data and lose their main balance. Don’t make that mistake.


Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Does the data roll over to the next day?

No. This is a 24-hour package. If you use only 500MB, the remaining 500MB will expire exactly after 24 hours.

Can I activate this twice in one day?

Yes. If you finish your 1GB by afternoon, you can dial *055*01# again to get another 1GB.

Is this 4G or 5G?

It supports full speed (4G/5G) depending on your mobile coverage. DU does not restrict speed on this bundle until the data finishes.
