Local know-how
What to know before you land in Saudi Arabia
Coverage and networks
Saudi Arabia is covered by STC, Mobily and Zain. All three are strong in Riyadh, Jeddah, Mecca and Medina; STC has the widest national footprint. The plan card names the exact network before you pay.
Landing and activation
Install before you fly and switch on at Jeddah or Medina airport. During Hajj and Umrah seasons the networks around the Haram get crowded; messages can lag at peak prayer times on every carrier.
Which plan fits your trip
For Umrah, 5 GB covers a focused 7 to 10 day visit; families sharing a hotspot and video-calling home daily should take 10 GB or more. Video calls from the Haram in peak season are the single biggest data drain.
Install in three steps

Land, switch it on
Set the GetSim eSIM as your default for cellular data. Your home SIM keeps handling calls and 2FA SMS in the background.
Your real number stays online. The eSIM only handles data. Calls, SMS, banking 2FA all keep arriving on your home SIM.
Crossing borders?
Going to more than just Saudi Arabia?
A regional bundle covers Saudi Arabia and 195+ other countries on a single eSIM, often cheaper than buying separate single-country plans for a multi-stop trip.
Frequently asked about Saudi Arabia eSIMs
Yes. The GetSim eSIM installs as a second profile on your phone. Your home SIM and number stay active for calls and SMS. Set the GetSim eSIM as the default for cellular data only.
Plans run on tier-1 mobile networks in Saudi Arabia. The exact carrier depends on the plan; you'll see the network name on each plan card before you pay.
Typical activation is 1–3 minutes after switching the eSIM on. Many travelers install the eSIM at home over Wi-Fi and toggle it on the moment the plane lands.
GetSim eSIMs are data-only. For voice and SMS, use apps like WhatsApp, FaceTime, Signal or Telegram. They all work seamlessly over the eSIM data. If you need a real phone number for verifications, pair the eSIM with a GetSim virtual number from the same wallet.
Top up the eSIM directly from your dashboard or the GetSim app, no need to install a new profile. Top-ups are billed per-GB at the same rate as the original plan.
