Number types

What the number column means.

011 · 012 · 013Recommended

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
9200

Unified number

  • A national business number, not tied to one city
  • The caller generally pays the call charge
  • Suits established organisations
  • Requires business verification
800

Toll-free number

  • Free for the caller
  • The business pays for inbound usage
  • Useful for customer service lines
  • Often carries higher running costs
05Not verified

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
Cost

What a Saudi number costs.

Number rental

Monthly, per number. 9200 and 800 price differently from geographic.

SIP channels

Simultaneous calls. Three channels is three calls at once in total.

Setup

One-off, when the trunk is created.

Call minutes

Inbound and outbound rates usually differ, as do 9200 and 800.

VAT

Applies. Some published prices include it, some do not.

Voho AI usage

Per connected minute, billed by Voho, separate from the telecom provider.

Account-specific offers, not public list prices, and not a guarantee of what you would be quoted. Two further quotes are withheld at the suppliers’ request.

Saudi carriers rarely publish call rates. Trunk and channel prices are published; per-minute rates almost never are, so the figures above come from quotes given to Voho. Your own quote will differ with volume, term and number type. Two providers’ rates are withheld at their request.

Documents

What is normally required.

The exact list depends on the provider and number type. The licensed provider decides 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
Regulation

What is allowed in Saudi Arabia.

05 mobile numbers: the most requested, and the one you cannot buy.

In our own customer survey, an 05 mobile-format number was the most commonly requested number for an AI agent. There is no verified production route to buy one as a programmable SIP or API number. CST defines 05 as a public mobile number carried over a cellular network; the programmable products Saudi carriers actually publish use geographic, 9200 and 800 numbers. Every provider that answered us confirmed the same.

Allowed
  • Geographic landline numbers — 011 Riyadh, 012 Jeddah and Makkah, 013 Dammam and the Eastern Province.
  • 9200 unified national numbers and 800 toll-free numbers.
  • An external AI agent answering and placing calls over SIP, where the carrier has confirmed it in writing.
  • Forwarding a corporate 05 mobile to a Saudi fixed or SIP number, if the operator approves it in writing.
Not available or not permitted
  • Buying an 05 mobile number as a programmable SIP or API number. No supplier has offered one.
  • Showing an 05 number as outbound caller ID without the carrier assigning and approving it.
  • Fabricating or spoofing any caller ID.
  • Running production traffic through a SIM bank or GSM gateway without written operator approval.

Who regulates numbers

The Communications, Space & Technology Commission (CST). It treats numbers as a limited national resource and defines mobile, geographic, nomadic and VoIP categories separately.

Landline and geographic numbers

The normal route, and the one every confirmed provider supplies. Several have confirmed in writing that an external AI agent may answer and originate calls over SIP.

Caller ID

Must be a number assigned to you and approved by the carrier for that purpose. Never fabricated.

Outbound consent

CST user-rights rules require prior consent. Consent buried in a privacy policy or service contract is not sufficient. The call must identify its purpose and the entity it represents.

Call-centre registration

CST registers call-centre services for businesses serving callers or operating for contracted customers. It requires a Saudi CR, disclosure of where data and servers sit, and a SAR 10,000 fee.

Reselling voice

CST has a Virtual Voice Service Provider permit for carrying calls to and from the PSTN over IP. Buying a trunk for your own use is not the same as reselling voice; classify the model before selling numbers under your own name.

Where the systems sit

stc's published business terms require call centres on its call-centre ranges or SIP circuits to be registered with CST and located inside Saudi Arabia. A European or US SIP endpoint is not acceptable to every Saudi carrier.

Operational guidance, not legal advice. Get the carrier’s written approval and Saudi telecom counsel before launching outbound campaigns or reselling numbers.

Questions

Saudi numbers, answered.

What does a Saudi number cost?

Published packages run from about SAR 598 a month (Mobily, 3 channels and 5 landline numbers, VAT included) to SAR 2,645 a month (Salam, 10 channels and 30 fixed lines). Setup runs from SAR 747.50 to SAR 2,300. Full figures are in the price table above.

What does a minute cost?

Saudi carriers rarely publish call rates. From quotes given to Voho: Emdad is SAR 0.05 per outbound minute plus VAT, and Bevatel is SAR 0.40 per outbound minute. Bevatel's public AI-call bundles work out at roughly SAR 0.55-0.60 per minute. Your own quote will differ. Voho's AI usage is billed separately, per connected minute.

Can I get a Saudi 05 mobile number for an AI agent?

No, not as a programmable SIP number. CST treats 05 as a public mobile number over a cellular network, and no supplier has offered one. Geographic 011, 012 and 013 numbers are the working route. Forwarding a corporate 05 mobile to a fixed number can be tested with the operator's written approval, but that is forwarding, and it does not permit outbound 05 caller ID.

Can I use a landline number?

Yes. Geographic landline numbers are the normal route: 011 Riyadh, 012 Jeddah and Makkah, 013 Dammam and the Eastern Province. Every confirmed provider supplies them.

Can my Voho AI agent answer the number?

Yes on the confirmed routes. Several Saudi providers have told us directly that an external AI agent may answer over SIP or a realtime audio stream. It is confirmed per provider, not assumed.

Can the AI make outbound calls?

Where the carrier has confirmed outbound SIP and approved the caller ID. Saudi rules require prior consent for outbound marketing, and the number shown must be assigned to you.

Can I buy a number instantly?

Not yet. The licensed provider must verify the business first, so this runs as assisted onboarding. Self-service ordering depends on a supplier exposing provisioning through an API; none has confirmed it.

Do I need a Saudi commercial registration?

Yes on the confirmed carrier routes, usually with a VAT certificate. The licensed provider decides what satisfies its KYC.

How long does activation take?

One confirmed carrier quotes about two weeks once it holds complete documents. Others have not supplied a time, and we do not publish estimates for them.

Can I order separate numbers for different branches or customers?

On several confirmed routes, yes, each with its own KYC. Whose commercial registration attaches to each number is the provider's decision.

Are telecom fees included in Voho's per-minute price?

No. Number rental, channels, setup and call minutes are billed by the telecom provider. Voho bills its own AI usage separately.

Can an existing Saudi number be ported?

Assessed case by case with the carrier holding it. It depends on the current carrier and number type, so we confirm it during onboarding rather than promise it.

Need a Saudi number for your AI agent?

Tell us your site, users, call volumes, number type and network in the requirements form, in English or Arabic. We will confirm the available route and required documents.
