How to Recharge Mobily in Saudi Arabia: Voucher, App, SADAD and Store Methods

Running out of balance at the wrong moment is never fun — and on Mobily, topping up is actually the easy part. There are several ways to do it, and you do not need the internet for most of them. A scratch voucher and a couple of key presses will do.

Here are all the recharge methods that work for a Mobily prepaid line in Saudi Arabia: the voucher code, the Mobily app, SADAD through your bank, and topping up in a store. Pick whichever one is closest to hand, then check that the balance actually landed.

You can buy recharge vouchers at shops, supermarkets and mobile shops across Saudi Arabia. Keep the voucher number private — anyone with it can use it.

Method 1: Recharge with a voucher (USSD)

This is the fastest way, and it works without mobile data.

  1. Scratch the voucher to reveal its number.
  2. Open your phone’s dialler.
  3. Dial *1400*, then the voucher number, then # — for example, *1400*123456789012345# (use your own voucher number, not this example).
  4. Press call.
  5. Your balance should update right away.

If you would rather be talked through it, call 1400 instead and follow the voice instructions, entering the same voucher number when asked.

Method 2: Recharge in the Mobily app

If you already have the app and some data or Wi-Fi, this is the tidiest option because you can see the result on screen.

  1. Open the Mobily app and log in with your Mobily number.
  2. Go to the recharge or top-up section on the dashboard.
  3. Choose voucher or card payment, whichever you have.
  4. Enter the voucher number, or your card details, and confirm.
  5. Check the new balance on the app’s home screen.

The app is also the best place to confirm the final amount before you pay, since voucher and package prices can change. If anything looks different from what you expected, stop and check before confirming.

Method 3: Recharge with SADAD

SADAD is the bill-payment service offered by Saudi banks, and Mobily accepts it for recharges and bill payments.

  1. Open your bank’s app or online banking, or use a bank ATM.
  2. Go to SADAD payments.
  3. Find Mobily as the biller and enter your Mobily number and the amount.
  4. Confirm the payment.

Because SADAD goes through your bank, it is a good option when you do not have a voucher to hand and do not want to type card details into another app. The payment shows up as a bank transaction, which is handy if you ever need to prove it later.

Method 4: Recharge in a store

Walk into a Mobily store or an authorised dealer and ask to recharge your line. You pay there, and the staff top up the number for you. This is the simplest option if you are not comfortable with codes or apps, or if you are buying a SIM and a top-up in the same visit.

After recharging: check your balance

Do not just assume it worked — check, especially before you activate a package.

  • Dial *1411# to see your full balance, including data, minutes and validity.
  • Dial *1411*1# for your remaining data.

If the new balance is not showing, wait a minute and check again, then re-read the voucher number carefully. A single wrong digit is the most common reason a recharge fails.

Recharging is not the same as activating a package

This catches people out. Topping up only adds balance to your line. It does not start a data bundle or a monthly plan on its own. Once the balance is there, you still need to activate the package you want — for example, by sending its code to 1100. The full lists are here: Mobily Data Bundles and Mobily Prepaid Packages. Every code in one place: Mobily Internet Package Codes. For checking what you have left afterwards: Mobily Balance Check. Visiting and need to top up a short-stay SIM: Mobily Visitor Packages.

FAQs

What is the Mobily recharge code?

Dial *1400*, then your voucher number, then #. So a voucher becomes *1400*voucher number#. You can also call 1400 and follow the instructions instead.

How do I recharge Mobily without a voucher?

Use the Mobily app with a card, pay through SADAD in your bank’s app or ATM, or top up in a Mobily store. You do not need a scratch card for any of these.

How do I know my recharge worked?

Dial *1411# and check that your balance has gone up. If it has not, re-check the voucher number you entered and try again, or check in the Mobily app.

Can I recharge Mobily from outside Saudi Arabia?

The app and SADAD routes do not need you to be on a Saudi network, as long as you can log in and pay. A voucher dialled by USSD needs a working connection to the Mobily network, so if you are abroad and it will not go through, use the app instead.

Does recharging activate my internet package?

No. Recharging only adds balance. You still need to activate the package separately — for example, by sending its activation code to 1100. See the activation guide here: How to Activate Mobily Internet Packages.
