Saudi Arabia Mobile Number Format and Carrier Prefix Ranges

Saudi mobile numbers are 9 digits after the +966 country code. In local format, all mobile numbers start with 05 — for example, 055 XXX XXXX. In international format, the leading 0 is replaced by the country code: +966 55 XXX XXXX. Saudi Arabia has three national mobile carriers, with STC holding the largest market share at roughly 40%.

• STC (Saudi Telecom Company)— the dominant state-linked carrier, operating the widest network coverage across Saudi Arabia's 13 regions including major urban centres like Riyadh, Jeddah, and Mecca. STC prefix ranges include 050, 053, 055, and 056. STC numbers are the most widely accepted across Saudi digital platforms and the most commonly used by Saudi residents.
• Mobily (Etihad Etisalat)— the second-largest carrier, a subsidiary of the UAE's Etisalat group (now e&). Mobily competes aggressively on data pricing and holds a significant share in urban areas. Mobily prefix ranges include 050, 055, 056, and 058. Mobily numbers are accepted on the same major platforms as STC ranges.
• Zain Saudi Arabia— the third national carrier, a subsidiary of Kuwait's Zain Group. Zain Saudi operates prefix ranges including 058 and 059. Its network covers the main population centres and its numbers are valid for SMS verification on both Saudi-specific platforms and global services that accept +966 numbers.

When entering a Saudi number on a verification platform, select Saudi Arabia (+966) from the country dropdown. Enter the number without the leading 0 or the +966 prefix — for example, 55 XXX XXXX for a number displayed locally as 055 XXX XXXX.
