“I made the mistake of not taking into account the previous bad reviews…. Don’t make the same mistake as me.

DO NOT BUY FROM ESIM!

I could not activate the sim due to error and their support is hopeless. I did not get a response after 48 hours. I already completed my travel and left the country and still no response. ”

“I used Airalo Global in Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the Philippines. The service is immediately available and very convenient. I think Mobily has a high coverage rate for those who use it outside of urban areas in Saudi Arabia. If you are in an urban area, you can get a good LET connection. It worked in Qatar and the Philippines as well, and it is very convenient. I think this is an indispensable item for international travel.

Saudi Arabia Travel eSIM FAQ

Everything you need to know about using eSIMs in Saudi Arabia

How many travel eSIM brands (providers) are available for use in Saudi Arabia, and how many prepaid data plans are there?

Approximately 120 travel eSIM providers are available for use in Saudi Arabia, with more than 4 800 prepaid data plans on offer. This breadth of options makes it easy for travelers to find an eSIM that fits their needs.

Are there any unlimited data eSIM plans available for Saudi Arabia?

Several eSIM retailers provide unlimited data options for Saudi Arabia, most of which are valid for 1‑to‑30 days and allow tethering but may throttle speed after a certain usage threshold. Roamify, abesteSIM, MicroEsim, Yesim, Yoho Mobile, Truely, and MTX Connect all offer such plans. Among them, Yoho Mobile specifies a speed limit of 5 Mbps, while the others note general throttling. Prices for unlimited plans vary widely, ranging from about $5.00 up to roughly $449.07, with MTX Connect offering a single 30‑day unlimited package for around $59.07. Travelers should consider their expected data consumption and choose a plan that comfortably covers their browsing, streaming, and other internet activities during the trip.

What are the major mobile networks available for a travel eSIM in Saudi Arabia?

In Saudi Arabia, the primary Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) providing mobile services are:

stc (Saudi Telecom Company): The largest telecommunications provider in the country, offering a comprehensive range of services including mobile, fixed-line, and internet.
Mobily (Etihad Etisalat): Established in 2004, Mobily provides mobile telephony, fixed-line, and internet services, and is known for its rapid growth and extensive network coverage.
Zain KSA: Part of the Zain Group, Zain KSA offers mobile and data services, and has been recognized for launching one of the largest 5G networks in the region.

In addition to these MNOs, Saudi Arabia hosts Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs) such as Virgin Mobile KSA and Lebara Mobile KSA. MVNOs provide mobile services by leasing access from major carriers, offering alternative options to consumers. However, most travel eSIMs rely on the infrastructure of the primary MNOs rather than MVNOs.

Can I get a travel eSIM with a phone number and SMS for Saudi Arabia?

Travel eSIM providers do offer plans that include a phone number and SMS capability for use in Saudi Arabia. Among the available options are offerings from GlobaleSIM, Roamify, and TravelKon, all of which provide data‑only packages that also grant telephony services.

These plans use foreign dialing codes rather than the Saudi Arabia code +966. Most of the numbers are on the +1 code (United States/Canada) and a few are on +33 (France). All the packages support inbound and outbound voice calls; inbound SMS is supported across the board, and many plans also let you send outgoing SMS. Because the dialing code is not Saudi Arabia’s, the numbers are not local Saudi numbers.
