Cancellation Etisalat: Easy Method
What is Etisalat
Overview
Etisalat is a large telecommunications provider offering mobile, fixed and internet services primarily based in the UAE and across select international markets.
Services include voice, data, subscriptions and device contracts; cancellation rules depend on the specific service and the contract signed.
Relevance for users in South Africa
Customers in South Africa may deal with Etisalat if they subscribe to Etisalat UAE services while abroad, use roaming, or place international calls to/from UAE numbers.
This guide focuses on how to cancel Etisalat subscriptions or add‑ons and what to expect when managing cancellations from South Africa.
How to cancel Etisalat
Online and in the mobile app
- Use the My Etisalat (Etisalat UAE) app: open Manage Services or Subscriptions and cancel individual add‑ons or services directly.
- Log in to your Etisalat account on the Etisalat website, go to "Manage Services" or "My Subscriptions", select the service and confirm cancellation.
- See step guides at phoneworld.com.pk and uaehelper.com.
By phone, USSD and in person
- Call Etisalat customer service: dial 101 from an Etisalat line or +971 800 101 when calling from abroad and request cancellation; ask for SMS or email confirmation.
- Use USSD/dial codes to unsubscribe from packages: e.g., dial *123# (then option 1) or *101# to remove certain packages.
- Visit an Etisalat store in person with valid ID and account details to request cancellation at the counter.
What channel partners can (and cannot) do
- Channel partners may assist with sales and basic account actions, but they typically cannot process formal cancellations or refunds - these must be handled directly with Etisalat.
- For terms about channel partner limitations, see order-elife-homeinternet.com.
What happens when you cancel
Service access and renewal
When you cancel a subscription or add‑on, access to that service will stop according to the cancellation effective date specified by Etisalat.
Auto‑renewal of add‑ons or subscriptions should cease after successful cancellation; keep confirmation messages as proof.
Billing, final charges and devices
Final billing may include prorated charges, early termination fees if you are inside a minimum contract term, and any outstanding device or router settlement amounts.
Users have reported cases where router/device fees or cancellation charges appeared on final invoices; keep documentation and question unexpected items.
Will I get a refund?
Standard policy
Etisalat does not publish a universal 14‑day cooling‑off or refund right for all services; refunds depend on the specific contract and product terms.
Early termination fees, prorated billing and device settlement rules commonly apply; check your contract for exact rules.
Exceptions and dispute resolution
- Refunds or waivers can occur in exceptional circumstances or after a successful complaint; users report quick outcomes when regulators get involved.
- If you dispute charges, gather documentation and escalate through Etisalat customer service, then to the national regulator if needed.
- For general guidance on cancellation fees and final billing experiences see postclic.com.
Etisalat plans and pricing
Pricing summary
No Etisalat‑branded consumer pricing specifically for South Africa was found; available verified data relates to international calling from Etisalat UAE.
Contact Etisalat directly for local or account‑specific pricing if you hold an Etisalat account based outside South Africa.
| Plan | Price | Period | Features |
|---|---|---|---|
| International Voice Call (UAE → South Africa) | R11.40/min | Per‑minute | Standard international voice call rate from Etisalat UAE to South Africa |
Your consumer rights in South Africa
Basic protections
South African consumers are protected by the Consumer Protection Act and related regulations that cover unfair contract terms, defective services and billing disputes.
You have the right to clear contract terms, accurate final billing and to lodge complaints about unfair charges.
How to escalate a complaint
If Etisalat does not resolve a dispute, you can lodge complaints with South African consumer bodies such as the National Consumer Commission or seek alternative dispute resolution.
Keep all correspondence, invoices and screenshots to support your case when escalating locally or with the provider.
Customer experiences
Positive reports
Some customers report quick resolution of unfair charges when complaints are escalated to telecom regulators, with refunds or waivers issued quickly in those cases.
When cancellations are processed directly through the app or confirmed by Etisalat support, the process can be straightforward.
Negative reports
Frequent issues reported include delays in confirmation, continued billing after cancellation and difficulty contacting live support.
Users also report app and chatbot unresponsiveness and disputes over device or early termination charges even after contract expiry.
Documentation checklist
Required identity and account items
- Valid photo ID (passport or national ID) used on the account.
- Account number, mobile number or customer reference.
- Original contract or proof of plan start and end dates (if available).
Evidence for disputes
- Screenshots of app/web cancellation screens, SMS or email confirmations.
- Copies of final invoices, device receipts and any returned equipment records.
- Complaint reference numbers, dates and names of agents you spoke with.
Common mistakes
Timing and fees
Assuming a universal 14‑day refund period is a common error; Etisalat’s refund and cancellation costs depend on your contract.
Canceling within a minimum term without checking early termination fees can lead to unexpected final charges.
Communication and proof
Relying on channel partners to process cancellations can fail; channel partners often cannot issue refunds or complete formal cancellations.
Not saving confirmations (SMS/email) or screenshots makes it harder to dispute ongoing billing or incorrect final bills.
Comparative recap
Quick comparison
The table below summarizes common cancellation channels, typical speed and practical notes to help choose the best route from South Africa.

| In‑store | Variable | Moderate | High if you obtain a signed receipt | Bring ID and account details; get written confirmation |
