Which network does the Saudi Arabia eSIM use?

It connects to STC’s 5G network in Saudi Arabia.

Can I use this eSIM outside Saudi Arabia?

No. This is a local Saudi Arabia plan, so its coverage is limited to Saudi Arabia.

How much data can I get for Saudi Arabia?

Available options include 1GB, 3GB, 5GB, 10GB and 20GB, as well as an unlimited plan.

How long do the Saudi Arabia eSIM plans last?

Validity options range from 1 day to 30 days, including 3, 5, 7, 10, 15 and 20 days.

Can I top up the Saudi Arabia eSIM?

Yes. Top-ups are supported if you need more data during your trip.

Saudi Arabia: is an eSIM better than a local SIM?

For most travellers, yes. A local SIM in Saudi Arabia means finding a shop once you have landed, usually with ID in hand, and it leaves you on a single carrier. An eSimHero eSIM installs before you travel, works the moment you arrive, connects across the networks we carry there, and leaves your usual number active on the same phone.
