Al Jawal Network Saudi Arabia: 1 SIM, 2 Numbers!

By Mush

aljawal.gifI have started keeping local SIM cards for all the places where I frequently travel to. This saves me on the roaming charges but of course I do miss out on a few calls or sms from people who try my HK phone. When I went to Riyadh on my first business trip, the first thing I wanted to do was buy a local SIM card. But soon after landing, I got a text message from Al Jawal, the local network: Get a local number without changing your sim, call … WOW! I immediately called the number and followed the recorded instructions; soon I heard, ‘your local number has been activated’, and the line went dead. I said, ‘wait a minute, what’s my local number, what do i do next???’ At that moment another text message came with my local number and instructions on calling and recharging. WOW!

For the next four days, I was able to use both my HK number and the local number at the same time. What’s more, after every call Al Jawal would send a message about the balance amount. Surely a WOW network!
