Does an eSIM work in Saudi Arabia?
Yes. This eSIM runs on STC. Coverage is strong in the cities and along the main highways between them, and thinner across the desert interior and the Empty Quarter, and it covers Riyadh, Jeddah, Mecca, Medina and Dammam. It can thin out only in very remote areas.
How much data do I need in Saudi Arabia?
Most travelers use around 1GB a day in Saudi Arabia across maps and messaging. A week is comfortable on 5GB to 7GB. Longer trips or long desert drives between cities lean to 10GB or unlimited daily, since signal thins out once you leave the urban corridors.
Is the Saudi Arabia eSIM unlimited?
Our daily plans give you unlimited data at full speed each day. If you prefer a fixed amount, choose a prepaid plan from the 1GB to 50GB, or unlimited daily range above.
Will the Saudi Arabia eSIM work on my phone?
Yes, on any eSIM-compatible unlocked device, including iPhone XS and later, Google Pixel 3 and later, and recent Samsung Galaxy models. It installs alongside your normal SIM, so nothing is removed.
When should I install my Saudi Arabia eSIM?
Install it before you fly, ideally the night before. Activation uses no data, so you are online the moment you land in Saudi Arabia.
Can I keep my number and use WhatsApp?
Yes. The Saudi Arabia eSIM adds data only, so your regular SIM keeps your number for calls and texts. Apps like WhatsApp work over the eSIM.
What happens when I use up the daily full-speed data?
On unlimited daily plans you are never cut off. After each day's full-speed allowance, data continues unlimited at a reduced speed until the day resets, enough for messages, email and maps anywhere in Saudi Arabia.
Can I hotspot to my laptop or travel partner?
Yes. Tethering works on our plans, so you can share the connection with a laptop or a travel partner in Saudi Arabia. Heavy hotspot use counts toward your daily full-speed data.
Is it too early to buy my Saudi Arabia eSIM?
It is never too early. Validity starts on your first connection in Saudi Arabia, not at purchase. Buy today, install whenever you like, and the plan sits ready until you land.
What if the eSIM does not work on my phone?
You are covered. Check the compatibility notes before buying, and if your eSIM will not connect and we cannot fix it, you get a full refund. Refunds are available any time until the eSIM is installed.
