Mobily International Calling Bundles in Saudi Arabia: Prices, Codes and How to Activate
If you regularly call family abroad from Saudi Arabia, paying the standard per-minute rate for every call can quickly become expensive. Mobily’s international calling bundles are a cheaper way to do it: you buy a bundle, and you then call at Mobily’s discounted international rates instead of the normal rate.
This guide covers the five international calling bundles Mobily currently lists, the exact codes to activate and cancel each one, how the separate international calling voucher works, and how to check how many international minutes you have left for a particular country. All prices below include 15% VAT, as Mobily states on its own international calling page.
One important point before you start: these bundles are for calling abroad while you are inside Saudi Arabia. They are not roaming bundles. If you are travelling outside the Kingdom and want to use your phone abroad, read Mobily roaming packages for travel abroad instead.
Quick Answer: Mobily International Calling Bundles at a Glance
| Bundle price | Validity | Activate (SMS to 1100) | Activate (USSD) | Cancel auto-renewal |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| SAR 6.90 | 1 day | 1119 | *1119# | Not listed — see note below |
| SAR 20 | 7 days | 1115 | *1115# | Send 51115 to 1100, or dial *51115# |
| SAR 40.25 | 7 days | 1135 | *1135# | Send 51135 to 1100, or dial *51135# |
| SAR 57.50 | 30 days | 1150 | *1150# | Send 51150 to 1100, or dial *51150# |
| SAR 113.85 | 30 days | 1190 | *1190# | Send 51190 to 1100, or dial *51190# |
The cheapest bundle, SAR 6.90, is a one-day option, so it suits a single day of calls. The SAR 20 and SAR 40.25 bundles both last 7 days, while the SAR 57.50 and SAR 113.85 bundles last 30 days and suit regular callers. Mobily states that the bundles are auto-renewable for prepaid customers, so set a reminder to cancel if you only want one period.
How to Activate a Mobily International Calling Bundle
You can activate any bundle in two ways. The simplest is by SMS: send the bundle’s code from the table above to 1100. For example, send 1150 to 1100 for the 30-day SAR 57.50 bundle.
The other way is by USSD code: dial the bundle’s code with a star and hash around it, and press call. For the same bundle, dial *1150#. You will get a confirmation message once the bundle is active.
If you are not sure which bundles are currently offered, Mobily says you can send 99922 to 1100 to see all the international calling bundles with the same benefits as the international calling voucher. Check this before you pay if the prices above look out of date, because Mobily can change offers without notice.
The Mobily International Calling Voucher
Alongside the bundles, Mobily also sells an international calling voucher. The credit on this voucher can only be used for international calls — it cannot be used for local calls, data, or other services. Like the bundles, the voucher is only valid inside Saudi Arabia, and it covers calls to more than 200 countries.
To recharge the voucher, dial *1400*, then enter the recharge card number, then #, and press call. For example, if your card number is 1234567890, you would dial *1400*1234567890#.
If you need a normal balance top-up as well, see how to recharge Mobily — the international voucher is separate from an ordinary recharge voucher, so do not mix the two codes up.
How to Check Your International Minutes Balance
International rates are different for each country, so the number of minutes a bundle gives you depends on where you are calling. To check your remaining international minutes for a particular country, use one of these two methods:
Dial *1199*, then the country code, then #. For India, for example, dial *1199*91#. Or send 9 followed by the country code to 1411 — for India, send 991 to 1411.
Check before a long call, especially if you are calling a country you do not call often. That way you will know whether your bundle still has minutes left, or whether you need to buy a new bundle first. For your ordinary balance and data, see how to check your Mobily balance and data.
Which Bundle Should You Choose?
| Your situation | Best bundle to start with | Why |
|---|---|---|
| You need to make calls today only | SAR 6.90, 1 day | Cheapest option, no 7-day or 30-day commitment |
| You call home a few times a week | SAR 20 or SAR 40.25, 7 days | A week’s cover without a monthly commitment |
| You call home regularly every week | SAR 57.50, 30 days | A full month of discounted rates at a mid-range price |
| You make long or very frequent calls | SAR 113.85, 30 days | The largest 30-day bundle in the list |
There is no single “best” bundle, because the value depends on the country you call and how long you talk. If you are unsure, start with a smaller bundle, check your balance with *1199*country code#, and then move up to a larger bundle if you run out before the validity ends.
Also remember that some Mobily plans already include international minutes. For example, the Flex Plus plans include international minutes as part of the plan. If you already have one of those plans, you may not need a separate international bundle at all — check what your plan already includes in the Mobily app before buying an extra bundle.
How to Cancel a Mobily International Calling Bundle
Because the bundles auto-renew for prepaid customers, cancel the auto-renewal if you do not want the bundle to renew. Send the cancellation code from the table above to 1100, or dial the matching USSD code. For example, to cancel the SAR 57.50 bundle, send 51150 to 1100 or dial *51150#.
Mobily does not list a cancellation code for the one-day SAR 6.90 bundle, which makes sense for a bundle that only lasts a day — it simply ends after 24 hours. If you are unsure whether a bundle has been cancelled, check in the Mobily app or call customer care on 1100 from your Mobily SIM.
