How To Cancel Sims Registered On Your Iqama In Saudi Arabia
CITC Saudi Arabia has a mechanism to cancel any sim anytime. But before moving and registering a complaint, CITC wants you to visit any nearest sales center (Office) of the service provider.
In other words, if you want to cancel a mobily sim card, then first, visit their nearest office and tell them you are not using that particular number. And, want to cancel that. The same procedure works for the other networks, zain, Sawa, Jawwy, and Lebara.
But before you could visit the office, you must know what is the number and network of the sim you want to cancel. You can check How many sims register under your iqama in Saudi Arabia easily.
Keep your iqama in the wallet. The service provider (Sawa, mobily, zain, etc.) needs a copy to start the procedure. They want to make sure that the connection is under your name. And, within a few hours, the sims get canceled.
Note: The service provider can also re-issue the sim if you are willing to use it.
What To Do If Sim Doesn’t Cancel After 5 Days.
