STC SIM Self-Activation

If you’ve recently purchased an STC SIM card and are wondering how to activate it, you’ve come to the right place. This article explains the easy process to get your SIM card active and how you can start using your mobile service immediately. Whether you have a prepaid or postpaid plan, this article will guide you on the self-activation process of STC SIM. So let’s get started.

Where to Purchase an STC SIM?

The STC SIM card can be purchased from any approved distributor or specific stores for SAR 5. However, you must pay for the plan you select when you activate the SIM yourself.

Pick a package that fits your needs.
Fill in your personal information.
Enter the verification code that you receive.

Difference Between Ordinary SIM and Self Activation SIM

Here’s the thing, a regular SIM card needs you to go to a store or distributor to get it active. On the other hand, a self-activation SIM lets you activate it on your own using the mystc app and authenticating via Absher. This means you don’t have to step out to activate your SIM, which is far more convenient and a real timesaver.
