Saudi Arabia eSIM questions

Which network will I use in Saudi Arabia?

Dayo connects to stc, 5G. If that network is busy, your phone can switch to a partner network automatically.

Will I have data as soon as I land at King Khalid, Riyadh (RUH)?

Yes. Install Dayo at home before you fly, then turn it on when you land. Your plan's days start the first time it connects in Saudi Arabia, so you can book a Careem from the arrivals hall.

Does it work outside Riyadh?

Yes. Your plan works anywhere the network covers in Saudi Arabia, including Jeddah, Dammam.

Visiting more than one country?

Buy one plan per country; each installs separately and starts when you land there. Going on to Europe? The Europe plan covers 43 countries on one eSIM.
