Who sells Saudi numbers, what they charge, and what they tie you to.
Saudi numbers are regulated and normally require a Saudi commercial registration. The table below is every provider we have approached, with the price and minimum commitment each one gave us, and how far each has actually been verified.
- Ordering today
- Assisted onboarding — self-service ordering not yet confirmed by any supplier
- Number types
- 011, 012, 013, 9200 and 800
- Mobile-format 05

The status column separates what a provider confirmed to us directly from what it only advertises publicly, and both from what nobody has verified. Where terms were given to us privately, the price reads quote required rather than a figure we are not free to publish. Prices and availability change; treat every row as a starting point for your own quotation.

What the number column means.
Geographic number
- Looks like a normal local business number
- The best default for most AI agents
- Can carry inbound and outbound SIP once approved
- The regional prefix follows where the business is
Unified number
- A national business number, not tied to one city
- The caller generally pays the call charge
- Suits established organisations
- Requires business verification
Toll-free number
- Free for the caller
- The business pays for inbound usage
- Useful for customer service lines
- Often carries higher running costs
Mobile number
- The standard Saudi mobile and SIM category
- No production-grade programmable 05 SIP route has been verified
- Outbound 05 caller ID is not something we will promise
- A carrier-approved forwarding test may be possible, but that is not a programmable number
What does it cost?
A Saudi number is not one price. It is a set of charges from the telecom provider, plus Voho’s own AI usage, and the two are billed separately.
Number rental
A monthly fee per number. Varies by type; 9200 and 800 are usually priced differently from geographic numbers.
SIP channels
How many calls can run at once. Three channels means three simultaneous calls in total, not three per customer.
Setup or activation
Usually one-off, charged by the telecom provider when the trunk is created.
Connected call minutes
Charged by the telecom provider. Inbound and outbound rates commonly differ, as do 9200 and 800.
VAT
Saudi VAT applies. Some published prices include it and some do not, so check which you are reading.
Call-centre or recording services
Optional. Recording retention, dialler and quality tooling are usually priced above the basic trunk.
Voho AI voice usage
Billed by Voho per connected minute, separately from anything the telecom provider charges.
The provider table shows published list prices where a provider publishes them. Where a supplier gave Voho a private quotation it is shown as quote required, because those terms belong to the supplier and are confirmed with you during onboarding.
What is normally required.
The exact list depends on the provider and the number type. The licensed telecom provider makes the final decision on what satisfies its KYC, not Voho.
- A valid Saudi Commercial Registration (CR)
- VAT certificate, where applicable
- National Address
- Authorised signatory and contact details
- A letter of authorisation where the applicant and the end customer are different entities
- The intended number type and location
- The intended inbound and outbound use
- Any additional call-centre or regulatory registration that applies
What the rules ask of you.
- Saudi telephone numbers are regulated by the Communications, Space & Technology Commission (CST), which treats numbers as a limited national resource.
- Outbound marketing calls require appropriate prior consent. Consent buried in a privacy policy or a service contract is not sufficient.
- Caller ID must be a number assigned to you and approved for the purpose. It must never be spoofed.
- Some providers require the SIP termination, the systems or the call-centre operation to sit inside Saudi Arabia.
- Reselling numbers, or operating a virtual calling service, may require additional regulatory review before you launch.

Saudi numbers, answered.
Can I buy a Saudi number instantly?
Not yet. Saudi numbers are regulated and the licensed provider has to verify the business before a number is issued, so today this runs as assisted onboarding. Self-service ordering is what we are building towards, and it depends on a supplier making provisioning available through an API.
Can my Voho AI agent answer the number?
Yes, on the routes we have confirmed. Several Saudi providers have told us directly that an external AI voice agent may answer calls over SIP or a realtime audio stream. It is confirmed per provider rather than assumed, because not every carrier permits it.
Can the AI make outbound calls?
On the routes where the carrier has confirmed outbound SIP and approved the caller ID. Outbound calling also carries consent obligations under Saudi rules, and the number shown must be one assigned to you and approved for the purpose. Caller ID must never be fabricated.
Can I get a Saudi 05 mobile number for an AI agent?
There is no verified, production-grade route today to buy a Saudi 05 mobile number as a programmable SIP number. The numbering plan treats 05 as a public mobile number delivered over a cellular network, while the programmable business products carriers publish use geographic, 9200 and 800 numbers. A carrier-approved forwarding test from a corporate mobile to a geographic number can be explored, but that is forwarding rather than a programmable 05 number, and it does not permit outbound 05 caller ID.
Which number is best for Riyadh, Jeddah or Dammam?
A geographic number matching the city: 011 for Riyadh, 012 for Jeddah and the Makkah region, 013 for Dammam and the Eastern Province. A local prefix is usually what a customer means when they ask for a number that looks normal to the people calling it.
Do I need a Saudi commercial registration?
For the confirmed carrier routes, yes. A valid Saudi CR is required, and a VAT certificate is commonly requested with it. The licensed telecom provider makes the final decision on what satisfies its KYC.
How long does activation take?
It depends on the route and on how quickly complete documents arrive. One confirmed carrier quotes about two weeks after it holds everything it needs. Other providers have not yet supplied an activation time, and we do not publish estimates for them.
Can I order separate numbers for different branches or customers?
On several of the confirmed routes, yes: separate numbers can be provisioned per account, each with its own KYC. Whose commercial registration attaches to each number is a question the provider answers, and it matters if you are buying on behalf of someone else.
Are number fees included in Voho's per-minute AI price?
No. Telephony charges from the provider and Voho AI voice usage are separate. The number rental, channels, setup and call minutes are billed by the telecom provider; Voho bills its own per-minute AI usage.
Can an existing Saudi number be ported or connected?
This is assessed case by case with the provider holding the number. Porting and connection both depend on the current carrier and the number type, so we confirm what is possible during onboarding rather than promising it in advance.
Need a Saudi number for your AI agent?
Tell us the city, number type, expected call volume and whether you need inbound, outbound or both. We will confirm the available route and required documents.
