In a grand gesture to mark the United Arab Emirates' 54th National Day, telecommunications provider du has announced an extraordinary free data giveaway that will delight its customer base across the country. The company is distributing a massive 54GB of high-speed 5G data completely free of charge, perfectly aligning with the nation's 54th anniversary celebrations known as Eid Al Etihad.
Massive Data Gift for National Celebrations
The special promotion becomes available starting December 1, 2025, just ahead of the official National Day on December 2, ensuring subscribers can stay connected throughout the holiday period. This generous 54GB data bundle allows users to stream videos, play online games, make video calls, and browse social media without consuming their regular monthly data allowances.
What makes this offer particularly noteworthy is that it's delivered over du's advanced 5G network, providing customers with lightning-fast internet speeds for all their digital needs during the celebrations and beyond.
Different Benefits for Post-paid and Prepaid Users
The free data offer has been thoughtfully designed with different benefits for post-paid and prepaid customers, ensuring maximum value for both user segments.
For post-paid subscribers, the process couldn't be simpler. The 54GB national data bundle will be automatically credited to all eligible accounts without any action required from users. Customers will receive an SMS confirmation from du on or around December 1, 2025, notifying them that the bundle is active.
However, post-paid users should note that their free data comes with seven-day validity from the activation date. The data is for national use within the UAE only and cannot be used for international roaming. Users can check their remaining data balance through the du mobile application or by dialling *155#.
Prepaid customers on the Flexi Yearly plan receive an even more extended benefit. While they need to actively claim their 54GB data bundle, they enjoy the advantage of twelve-month validity, allowing them to spread their free data usage throughout the entire year.
How to Claim Your Free National Day Data
For prepaid users interested in availing this special National Day offer, here are the activation requirements and steps:
Eligibility: Only customers subscribed to du's Flexi Yearly plan can claim this offer. Those not currently on this plan must switch to it to become eligible for the free data bundle.
Activation Deadline: The offer must be activated before December 31, 2025, after which the promotion will expire.
Activation Steps:
First, switch to or subscribe to the Flexi Yearly plan through the du mobile app or by dialling *111*100#.
Next, open the du application and navigate to the Special Offers section.
Finally, redeem the 54GB National Day bundle to activate your free data.
As an additional National Day bonus, new subscribers to the Flexi Yearly plan will receive a 50% discount on the annual fee, making this an excellent opportunity for customers to upgrade their plans while enjoying substantial savings.
Special Roaming Bundles for Travelers
Understanding that many residents travel during the National Day long weekend, du has also introduced limited-time promotional roaming bundles with significantly enhanced data allowances.
The company is offering two special roaming packages available for purchase between December 1 and December 3, 2025 only:
Roaming Data Promo: This bundle provides 54GB of roaming data (upgraded from the usual 15GB) at a price of AED 200. Customers can purchase it by sending "W" to 5102 or through the du app.
Roaming Combo Promo: For AED 250, users get 54GB of roaming data plus 250 minutes of calling. This can be activated by sending "W1" to 5102 or via the du application.
These promotional roaming offers represent exceptional value for frequent travelers and those planning international trips during the holiday period.
Celebrating Connectivity and National Pride
This 54GB data gift from du represents more than just a promotional offer—it's a meaningful way to enhance connectivity during the nation's important celebrations. Whether sharing festive moments with family and friends through video calls, streaming patriotic content, or simply staying informed about National Day events, this data bundle ensures everyone can participate fully in the Eid Al Etihad spirit.
Mark your calendars for December 1, 2025, when this special National Day offer becomes active. Both post-paid and eligible prepaid customers should check the du app on that date to activate their free data and make the most of this generous celebration of the UAE's 54th year of unity and progress.
