Fluide, simple, ça marche tout simplement. Utilisez-le à nouveau.
Activation rapide et connexion stable. Très pratique 🌟 Je l'ai utilisé lors de mon voyage à Madère.
Soutien charmant, j'ai obtenu une eSIM pour le Royaume-Uni. Aucun problème rencontré.
J'avais l'habitude d'avoir 3 téléphones portables, mais la connexion internet n'était pas la meilleure, c'est pourquoi j'ai commencé à utiliser Blikst et je le trouve très utile
The Blikst Saudi Arabia eSIM runs on MTC, the Mobile Telecommunications Company, which most travellers will recognise in-country by its consumer brand stc. You get 4G and 5G speeds, and stc carries the widest 5G footprint in the Kingdom. That means strong 5G across Riyadh, Jeddah, Dammam and the NEOM and AlUla development corridors, with reliable 4G filling in everywhere else along the main routes.
Riyadh, Jeddah, Dammam, Mecca, Medina, Taif and Khobar all have extensive 5G, and Highway 15 south to Taif and Abha holds steady. AlUla, including Hegra, Elephant Rock and the Old Town, has good 4G with 5G pockets near Maraya. Be honest with yourself about the gaps though: the Empty Quarter south of Shaybah is largely offline off the main road, diving boats lose signal offshore, and the coastal road to NEOM and Tabuk still has dead zones.
Right after purchase you get a confirmation email with your eSIM details, and delivery is quick. Install the profile by scanning the QR code while you are on home Wi-Fi before you fly. Activation is automatic: the eSIM switches on when you arrive in Saudi Arabia, so the stc line registers before you even reach baggage claim. If you arrive by land from the UAE or via the King Fahd Causeway from Bahrain, it picks up the tower at the border compound.
Most modern smartphones work fully with Blikst eSIMs, though a few exceptions exist, so it is worth checking our detailed compatibility list to confirm your device. Your phone also needs to be carrier-unlocked. On an iPhone you can check eSIM support under Settings, General, About and look for an EID number; on Android the option sits in your network or SIM settings. If those are present and the handset is unlocked, you are good to go.
It depends on your itinerary. A four-day Riyadh or Jeddah weekend works comfortably on 3 to 5 GB. A one-week trip that adds AlUla and a Red Sea day wants around 10 GB. A two-week loop through Riyadh, AlUla, Jeddah and Abha fits about 20 GB. Hajj and Umrah pilgrims staying two to three weeks should budget 10 to 20 GB, and business travellers on month-long Riyadh rotations who tether benefit from 50 GB.
Yes, tethering and hotspot are supported, so you can share the connection with a laptop, tablet or a travelling companion's phone. This is genuinely useful in the Kingdom, where so much runs in-app: Careem and Uber rides, Nusuk permit checks for Umrah and Hajj, food delivery through HungerStation or Jahez, and timed-entry bookings for Hegra. If you are on a long Riyadh project rotation and tethering a laptop, a larger 50 GB allowance keeps you comfortable.
This is a data-only plan, so it does not come with a Saudi phone number for traditional calls or SMS. In practice that is rarely a problem: you can call and message over the internet using apps like WhatsApp, FaceTime or voice notes, which is exactly how most travellers stay in touch with family. Because the eSIM is a separate digital line, your physical home SIM can stay in the phone so your usual number keeps receiving calls and texts.
International roaming on most Western carriers runs around 12 to 15 dollars per day, which adds up fast on a longer trip. Local stc, Mobily or Zain SIMs are easy to buy at RUH or JED with a passport and visa, and tourist packs are competitively priced. The real advantage of the Blikst eSIM is time: you install it on home Wi-Fi before flying, clear immigration, walk to the taxi, and the data line is already on, with no kiosk queue or registration.
