The dual-line SIM includes VIVA Value line an STC Local line, which means only one cell phone to carry while performing the pilgrimage. Once in KSA, customers can top up their STC line to make local or international calls using STC’s recharge vouchers that are widely available throughout the Kingdom.

Eng. Najeeb stated “We wanted to bridge the synergies we have with STC (Saudi Telecommunications Company) in KSA and bring forth to our customers an added value service that will help them feel at home and save on roaming costs during the HAJJ season. We hope to offer our customers the ability and flexibility to make local calls at local rates, and still keep in touch with the family through their VIVA line as well.
