Cancel the 3 AED daily data plan in Etisalat UAE
What the “3 AED daily” usually means
Many users mean the small daily data pack (previously marketed around AED 3). In 2026, the 150MB Daily Plan shows AED 4 (excl. VAT) on official pages, but the cancel path and codes remain the same.
How to unsubscribe the 3 AED plan fast
- USSD: *170# → Data → Daily → 150MB (or your listed pack) → Unsubscribe
- SMS: If your activation SMS used DP4, send C DP4 to 1012. If your SMS used DP2 (60MB), send C DP2 to 1012.
- App: e& UAE app → plan card → Unsubscribe.
Tip: Match the letters/numbers in your original subscription SMS (e.g., DP4, DP2, DS3). To cancel, prepend C and text it to 1012.
Step-by-step (example)
Cancel the 150MB Daily Plan (DP4)

Check status, renewal, and charges
See what’s active
- USSD: *170*1# (or *101#) shows usage/active packs.
- SMS: Text DATA to 1010 for a usage snapshot.
Auto-renew rules
- Most daily packs auto-renew if you have enough balance. If renewal fails, Etisalat may grant a grace period until you recharge; cancel anytime via USSD/SMS/app.
If it’s “stuck” after cancel
- Restart your phone → check with *170*1#.
- If still active after 10–15 minutes, cancel again via a different channel (USSD vs SMS) or call 101.
Pro Tip: If you plan to recharge for a weekly/monthly bundle, cancel the daily pack first, then recharge. This avoids the daily pack auto-renewing and eating the new balance before you buy your next plan.
