How to Transfer Mobile Number Ownership in Saudi Arabia

Every Saudi operator lets the owner of a number pass it to another person. The steps differ by network, the principle is the same: the owner starts the transfer to the new owner’s ID, the new owner accepts and confirms with Nafath.

The transfer in four steps

  1. Settle the line: pay open bills and close any device instalment contract on the number.

  2. The current owner starts the ownership transfer in the operator’s app (or at a store) and enters the new owner’s ID or Iqama number and mobile number.

  3. The new owner sees the request in their own app and accepts it.

  4. The new owner confirms the transfer with Nafath — the national single sign-on that you open with your Absher login. The number is now in the new owner’s name.

Once the new owner has accepted and confirmed with Nafath, the change is usually done within the same day. The request expires if it is not accepted in time, so both sides should be ready when it is sent.
Yes, for example while bills on the line are unpaid or when the new owner does not meet the conditions for a line in their name.
