Why do people in Saudi Arabia get a US number?

WhatsApp Business for US customers

Run a separate WhatsApp Business account on a US number for American buyers and partners, while your personal WhatsApp stays on your Saudi number.

Family and students in the US

Many Saudi families have a son or daughter studying in the US. With a US number, they reach you with a normal US call instead of an international one.

US apps that ask for a US number

Sign up for US services that want a US phone number. Google, Apple ID, Amazon and PayPal sent their codes to our numbers in our tests.

Working with US companies

Give US clients and recruiters a number they can call at US rates, and call them back with your 300 included minutes a month.

How do I set up WhatsApp on a US number?

It takes about 10 minutes, and your usual WhatsApp can stay exactly as it is.

1
Pay and pass the ID check
Choose the yearly or monthly plan, pay, and do the short ID check (photo ID + selfie) in the TripoSIM app.
2
Choose your number
Pick a US state or area code in the app. Your number is set up straight away.
3
Open WhatsApp Business
Keep your usual WhatsApp on your local number and use WhatsApp Business for the US number. Both apps work side by side on one phone.
4
Enter your number with +1
Choose United States (+1), type your 10-digit US number and ask for the code by SMS. The code shows up in the TripoSIM app under Texts.
5
Protect it
In WhatsApp, turn on two-step verification (Settings › Account) and set a PIN. Keep your plan active: a released number can go to someone else.

Tip for Saudi users: keep WhatsApp on your STC, Mobily or Zain number for family and banks, and put WhatsApp Business on the US number for your US contacts. You see both on one phone.

Does it work on Saudi networks?

The US number works over the internet, so it runs on any Saudi network (STC, Mobily or Zain) and on home or office Wi-Fi.

Saudi Arabia used to restrict calls in many internet apps. Those limits have eased and calling apps are widely used today, but it can still vary by app and network. If a call sounds poor on mobile data, switch to Wi-Fi, or the other way round. Please follow local rules on internet calling.

You can call US and Canadian numbers with it (300 minutes a month included). It cannot call Saudi numbers or other countries, so keep your Saudi SIM for local calls.

What is the time difference with the US?

How far ahead Riyadh is of the main US time zones:

US city	US summer time	US winter time
New York	7 hours ahead	8 hours ahead
Chicago	8 hours ahead	9 hours ahead
Los Angeles	10 hours ahead	11 hours ahead

When it is 9:00 in New York, it is 17:00 in Riyadh in US winter and 16:00 in US summer.

US office hours fall in your afternoon and evening. During Ramadan, when your working hours change, set a voicemail greeting so US callers know when you will call back. Calls you miss go to voicemail, and you get an alert in the app and by email.

How can I pay from Saudi Arabia?

You are charged in US dollars. $100 a year is about SAR 375, and $12.99 a month is about SAR 48.71, because the riyal is pegged to the dollar. Your bank may add a small foreign-currency fee.
Pay with Visa, Mastercard or Amex. Apple Pay and Google Pay work when your phone offers them.
A mada debit card usually works only if it also carries a Visa or Mastercard logo. Switch on online and international payments in your bank app first.
You can also pay in USDT (TRC20) for one month or one year. A plan paid in USDT does not renew by itself: we email you before it ends.

What can the US number not do?

Calls out reach US and Canadian numbers only. You cannot call local numbers or other countries with it.
You can receive texts from US and Canadian senders. Sending texts is not included.
WhatsApp and the popular apps we tested send their codes to it, but some banks and a few services refuse internet numbers, so we cannot guarantee every service.
It cannot call 911 or any emergency service. Use a local mobile line in an emergency.
Calls and texts need internet and the TripoSIM app, with notifications and the microphone allowed.
If your plan ends, the number is kept for 30 days (90 days on the monthly plan) and then released. Keep the plan active while WhatsApp runs on it.
