Automated Message Service for STC Loan Credit

STC provides an automated message service that helps you get an emergency balance when you’re low on credit.

Here’s how it works:

• When your balance is running low, STC sends an SMS to your number from 808808.
• If you receive this message, reply with ‘1’ to confirm.
• STC will then credit your sim with 5 riyals.
• You’ll receive a confirmation message once your account has been topped up.
• To check your emergency balance, dial *166#.

Important points to note:

• When you recharge your sim, Sawa will deduct 5 riyals as repayment for the credit loan. 
• SAR 1 fee will be applied for this transaction upon your next recharge. 
• Make sure your credit is 0 to proceed with the STC emergency loan.
• The automated message service is valid for 24 hours from the time of receiving the message.
• You need to consume 5 riyals credit within 90 days, or it will expire.

• This service is exclusively for prepaid customers.
• In case of any problem, dial 900 and ask for help from Sawa support service.

Manual Borrowing of Sawa/STC Advance Balance/Loan

In case you didn’t receive the automated message, you can manually request an advance balance by following these steps:

• Open your SMS messaging app.
• Type ‘STC advance balance code 1’ in the message.
