If you’re paying separately for Disney+, OSN+ or STARZPLAY in the UAE, check your bill first. du tv packages and the e& streaming bundle uae plans already include one of them for free or near-free on a lot of contracts, and plenty of residents never realise it’s sitting there unused.
Almost nobody in the UAE actually needs to pay full retail for a second or third streaming subscription — the entitlement is usually already part of a home internet or postpaid plan people signed up for anyway. This guide covers what du and e& actually bundle in, what it’s worth if you’re paying separately right now, and exactly where to check your own account.
Key takeaways
- du offers 12 months of Disney+ free on eligible Postpaid Power Plans and Home Plans, activated through the My du app — after that it renews directly with Disney+ at AED 49.99/month if you choose to keep it.
- e&’s Neo Home fibre plans bundle an Amazon Prime subscription and TV by e& app access as standard, with a choice of paid add-ons: STARZPLAY Sports, OSN TV Home, or a combined STARZPLAY & OSN+ pack.
- du also lets you bill OSN+ directly to your du account rather than a separate card — that’s billing convenience, not necessarily a free inclusion, so check which one your plan actually gives you.
- An unused bundled subscription adds up fast: OSN+ alone runs AED 48.99/month standalone (AED 64.99 for 4K), and Disney+ renews at AED 49.99/month once a free promo period ends — close to AED 600 a year each if you’re paying for something your plan already covers.
du TV Packages and e& Streaming Bundles Explained
The two telecom providers approach bundling differently, and the exact entitlement depends heavily on which plan and contract length you’re on — there’s no single universal answer, which is exactly why it’s worth checking your own account rather than assuming.
What du Streaming Bundles Include
du’s clearest offer is 12 months of Disney+ at no extra cost on eligible Postpaid Power Plans and Home Plans, tied to a 12- or 24-month contract. It’s activated through a link sent to the My du app after signing up, and once the free period ends it either auto-cancels or renews directly with Disney+ depending on your plan. du also offers OSN+ billing through your du account as a convenience — useful for consolidating bills, but distinct from a free bundled entitlement, so don’t assume one means the other.
What e& TV Packages Include
e&’s Neo Home fibre plans, its current entry-level and mid-tier home internet range, include an Amazon Prime subscription and access to the TV by e& app as standard. On top of that, customers can choose paid add-ons — STARZPLAY Sports, OSN TV Home, or a combined STARZPLAY & OSN+ pack — layered onto the base plan rather than bought as separate subscriptions elsewhere.
What du and e& Streaming Bundles Are Actually Worth
Here’s what the same entitlements would cost paying full retail, based on current UAE pricing and DubaiPress’s own recent streaming service comparison:
| Service | Standalone UAE price | Where it shows up bundled |
|---|---|---|
| Disney+ | AED 49.99/month after promo | Free for 12 months on eligible du Postpaid/Home plans |
| OSN+ (Standard HD) | AED 48.99/month | Add-on option on e& Neo Home; billing-only convenience via du |
| OSN+ (Premium 4K) | AED 64.99/month | Available as part of e&’s combined STARZPLAY & OSN+ add-on |
| Amazon Prime | AED 16/month standalone | Included as standard on e& Neo Home plans |
| STARZPLAY Sports | Varies by tier | Available as an e& Neo Home add-on |
How to check what your plan already includes
For du, open the My du app and check the “My Offers” or plan-details section of your account — any active Disney+ entitlement or OSN+ billing link will show there, or you can log in directly at du.ae. For e&, open the My e& app or log in at eand.ae and look under your Neo Home plan’s entertainment add-ons to see which of Amazon Prime, TV by e&, STARZPLAY or OSN+ is actually switched on. If it’s not obvious from the app, a quick call to customer service will confirm it faster than guessing from the marketing page — offers and eligible plans change often enough that what a friend has bundled isn’t a reliable guide to what you have.
