Your consumer rights in United Arab Emirates

General UAE consumer protections

Consumers in the UAE are protected by local consumer protection frameworks that require clear pricing, accurate product information, and appropriate remedies for defective or misdescribed goods.

Specific rights and timeframes under UAE law can affect returns, repairs and refunds; these are determined by UAE regulators and local consumer protection legislation.

How to escalate locally

• Keep all receipts, contracts and communications as evidence when you file a complaint with the retailer or service provider.
• If you cannot resolve the issue with AT&T or the vendor, escalate to your local consumer protection authority in the UAE for guidance and dispute resolution.

Customer experiences

Positive feedback

• Some customers report reliable core service performance and satisfactory internet speeds.
• Long‑tenured customers sometimes say they are content with the core connectivity when issues are not present.

Common complaints

• Many reviews mention poor customer service experiences, such as long wait times and difficulty resolving billing or technical problems.
• Frequent billing issues reported include unexpected charges, autopay continuing after cancellation, and delays receiving refunds to cards.

Documentation checklist

Before you cancel

• Account number and account holder name
• Order number or device serial/IMEI (for equipment returns)
• Proof of purchase or receipts

For returns and refunds

• Original packaging and all included components for device returns (to qualify as like-new)
• Payment method details for refund processing and bank/check clearance proof if applicable
• Written confirmation of cancellation and a final bill or refund confirmation from AT&T

Common mistakes

Billing and autopay mistakes

Example: Customers cancel service but do not confirm autopay was disabled, which can result in further charges.

Always obtain written confirmation that autopay has been canceled and monitor your payment method for pending transactions.

Returns and condition mistakes

Example: Returning a device after 14 days or without all original components can lead to denial of refund or restocking fees.

Inspect packaging and include all accessories when you ship or drop off the return to avoid delays or reduced refunds.
