Mobily Data Roaming Bundles for Travel Abroad (2026)

Roaming charges can surprise you if you simply switch your phone on abroad and start using data. Mobily’s data roaming bundles give you a fixed amount of data for a fixed price and a fixed number of days, so you know the cost before you travel.

This guide covers Mobily’s data roaming bundles, how to activate them, and the checks to make before you leave Saudi Arabia. Prices below are VAT inclusive and were checked against Mobily’s official data roaming page on 30 October 2026.

Mobily Data Roaming Bundles

You activate a bundle by sending its code by SMS to 1100. You can also subscribe through the Mobily app, by calling 1100, or by visiting a Mobily outlet. Roaming must already be active on your line before you subscribe to any bundle — a bundle alone does not switch roaming on.

For postpaid lines, the bundle price is VAT inclusive. For prepaid lines, VAT is already included in the recharge amount, so no extra VAT is added to the bundle. These bundles are only valid while roaming, and they are available to Mobily consumer subscribers on both prepaid and postpaid lines.

Which Bundle Fits Your Trip?

Pick by trip length first, then by how much data you expect to use. A one-day stopover or a short business trip suits the 2GB bundle for 24 hours. A weekend trip suits the 5GB bundle for 3 days, while a week-long holiday suits the 10GB bundle for 7 days. For a long stay, compare the unlimited bundle for 30 days with the 30GB bundle for 60 days and choose by how heavily you use maps, video and social apps.

Remember that a bundle covers data while roaming. Outgoing calls are either inside the visited country or back to Saudi Arabia, and international calls to the rest of the world and SMS are not included in the bundle. If you need calls as well, check Mobily’s separate roaming calls bundles in the Mobily app before you travel, as their prices can change.

Before You Travel: 5 Quick Checks

First, make sure roaming is active on your line — this is a prerequisite for any roaming bundle. Second, check that your destination and its networks are covered by the bundle, because coverage can change. Third, subscribe before you fly or as soon as you land, and wait for the confirmation SMS before relying on the bundle.

Fourth, turn data roaming on in your phone settings only when you are ready to use the bundle. Fifth, keep an eye on your usage: if you are travelling to Russia, note that internet and SMS roaming activate 24 hours after arrival under Russian regulations. For help while abroad, you can call 00966560101100 free of charge.

Before you travel, it also helps to know how to check your Mobily balance and data and how to recharge Mobily, so you can top up if you need another bundle. If you travel often in the Gulf, also read the site’s main Mobily roaming packages page and compare Mobily prepaid vs postpaid plans before choosing a long-term plan.
