Useful STC 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

How long does an stc sawa prepaid line stay valid without a recharge?

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.

How do I enter a Saudi mobile number?

Enter it with the country code +966. A number written locally as 051 234 5678 becomes +966 51 234 5678, so drop the leading 0 after the country code. Saudi mobile numbers have 9 digits after the country code. The example is a format guide, not a real number.

How do I recharge a STC number from India?

Enter the number with the country code, pick a plan and pay by card. The operator is detected automatically and the credit goes straight to the phone. You do not need an account or a bank account in Saudi Arabia.

Can I pay with a card from India?

Yes. Visa, Mastercard and other major debit and credit cards issued in India and most other countries are accepted.

Can I recharge someone else's STC number?

Yes. Slashtel tops up any prepaid STC number in Saudi Arabia, your own or a family member's. You only need the number; the person does not need an account.

What if I enter the wrong number?

Recharges are delivered instantly and cannot be reversed once they reach a valid number, so check the number before you pay. If the operator rejects the number, Slashtel resends or refunds you in full.

What currency do I pay in from India?

Prices on this page are in US dollars and include the Slashtel service fee. At checkout your card may be shown and charged in your local currency, and the exact amount is confirmed before you pay.

Is it safe to pay on Slashtel?

Yes. Payments are processed by Stripe with 3D Secure where your bank supports it, and Slashtel never sees or stores your full card details.

How long does the recharge take?

Most recharges arrive within a few minutes. If the phone is switched off, the credit lands when it next connects. You get a confirmation email with your order reference.

What happens if the recharge fails?
