Useful Saudi Arabia operator codes and rules

Keeping the number active
stc's mobile terms give a sawa prepaid SIM 180 days of validity, extended by up to 180 days from the customer's last paid activity, and balance validity of 90 days from each recharge (renewed by up to 90 days from the last paid activity). When the SIM expires the remaining balance is cancelled and stc may reassign the number. A recharge counts as paid activity; transfers between prepaid lines do not. Source: stc.com.sa

Checked against stc's official site on 8 October 2026.

Pay with a card from any country. Top up numbers in Saudi Arabia with a Visa, Mastercard, Amex, Apple Pay or Google Pay issued anywhere (debit or credit; prepaid and gift cards are not accepted). No local bank account, local wallet or local number needed.
