At this pace, an item you put off for a year costs roughly 1.8% more, which is why a marked sale month beats waiting for prices to fall.

This is the official price index for the whole market. Individual products move faster or slower than the index, and a sale beats the index either way.

Buyer Guide

How to get the most out of Mobily

Reviewed by Savooh's editors

Mobily was created in 2004 specifically to break Saudi Telecom Company's monopoly on mobile service, after Etisalat paid $3.45 billion for the Kingdom's second GSM and 3G license. Its entire existence traces to that one competitive-entry moment.

1
It exists because Etisalat paid to break a monopoly
Because Mobily was created specifically to end Saudi Telecom's wireless monopoly after Etisalat won the second GSM license in 2004, its pricing and network rollout have always been positioned directly against STC rather than developing organically in an open market.

About Mobily : the full picture

Mobily, formally Etihad Etisalat Company, was established on December 14, 2004 after UAE-based Etisalat paid $3.45 billion for Saudi Arabia's second GSM license and a 3G license that August, ending Saudi Telecom Company's monopoly on the wireless segment.

The company launched mobile service on May 5, 2005, listed on Tadawul the same month it was founded, and remains roughly 27% owned by Etisalat, with its market position still defined by that original head-to-head entry against STC.

Shopping Tips

Before you buy at Mobily.

What our editors do before they buy from this store.

01
Its whole reason for existing is the STC comparison
A foreign operator paid $3.45 billion in 2004 for the Kingdom's second GSM licence, and the service that came out of it launched on 5 May 2005 priced against the incumbent. Quote STC on the same plan before signing.
02
Etisalat still holds about 27%, and that shows up in roaming
The UAE operator that funded the licence retains roughly a 27% stake to this day. Group roaming arrangements are worth checking before you buy a separate travel pass for a trip to the Emirates.
03
A code lands on the device, not on the line
Retail codes on a telecom site attach to handsets, accessories and prepaid recharge in the online store. Monthly tariffs are not coupon territory; they move when the plan changes.
04
Fibre and mobile on one account
Home fibre bundled with a mobile line is priced below the two bought separately. Work out the twelve-month total, because introductory fibre rates step up after the first term.
05
The Tadawul listing makes the numbers public
The company listed on the Saudi exchange the same month it was founded, so subscriber and revenue figures are published every quarter. A quarter with subscriber loss is usually followed by sharper acquisition offers.
06
Alert the Saudi calendar
Discounting concentrates around Founding Day in February, National Day in September and the Ramadan data push. An alert covers the rest of the year.

Savooh Answers

What people ask about Mobily coupons

Q
What did Saudi Arabia's second mobile licence cost?
Etisalat paid $3.45 billion for it in 2004, plus a 3G licence that August. Service went live on 5 May 2005 and ended Saudi Telecom's hold on the wireless market.
Q
Do Mobily codes cut the monthly bill?
They apply in the online device shop and to prepaid recharge. A postpaid line changes price when the plan changes, or when home fibre joins the same account.
Q
Mobily, STC or Zain?
Three licensed operators, entering in that order: STC first, Mobily from 2005, Zain from 2008. Coverage at your specific address decides more than the headline tariff, so check all three there.
