Du sim card users reported their calls getting dropped, and many faced issues in connecting with other callers.

N Abdulla, a Dubai resident, struggled to connect on the phone for an hour due to service disruptions. "I tried calling from my husband's and kids' phones but they are all Du. I couldn’t figure out what the issue was," she said to Khaleej Times.

Another resident, Afsha Noori, kept calling her daughter but couldn't get through."I thought she wasn't picking up my call. Turns out my call didn't even go through and my daughter's phone never rang or lit up."
