havent seen this posted yet so thought i would let you guys know.. Du is taking reservations for numbers so you get priority when they start operating.

I hate to be a big downer, but what's the incentive to convert your Etisalat number to Du?

we dont know .. yet. But maybe better customer service ?

People don't really want better customer service, they just want cheaper calls.

Should be understood that they are allowing you to register your present mobile number which will then become a Du number with the prefix 055 instead of 050. You cannot reserve any number you like as the passcode is sent back to the number that you are registering.

And no number portability?!?!?! So 19th Century.

Pray tell, what is number portability?

essentially if your number is 050 555 5555, if you decide to change companies you can still keep 050 555 5555, this is number portability in a nutshell the blocks of numbers aren't specific to a carrier or at least can be transferred between carriers.

This is exactly what I had explained in my previous post, except that the 050 would become 055, so what was Ian's question about then?

oh and btw

you will be charged per second not minute .. so i guess your calls might be cheaper unless you always finish them at 00 secs.

Dude that is a big except, if people can't call you on the same number they have programmed in their phone, your number isn't portable between carriers.

You can indeed book any number of your choice, it looks like the minimum booking fee is Dhs. 100.00 this will increase the more attractive the number. The reason for entering your present mobile is so that they can send you your passcode which is required to complete your booking.

Cool, because nobody asked.

I know nobody asked how much it's going to cost for me to register mine, but the answer is 0 dh. I mean, I have a mobile number already... it works.
