Saudi number format (+966)
Saudi mobile numbers have 9 digits after the country code, and they start with 5 (for example 50, 53, 54, 55, 56 or 59). Inside Saudi Arabia people write them with a trunk 0, such as 05X XXX XXXX. When an app asks for your number:
- Pick Saudi Arabia (+966) in the country list, or type +966 yourself.
- Drop the leading 0, so 05X XXX XXXX becomes +966 5X XXX XXXX.
- If you see the number written as 00966, replace 00966 with +966.
- A wrong format is one of the most common reasons a code never arrives.

Saudi number vs free numbers vs your own SIM
- GetVerifyCode temporary Saudi number: private (only you see the inbox), often works but each app decides, live price per service, best for one-time sign-up codes.
- Free public SMS sites: not private (anyone can read the inbox), rarely work for popular apps, free, low-stakes tests only. If you only need a free test, see our free numbers page and free vs paid numbers.
- Your own Saudi SIM: tied to your identity, works almost everywhere, prepaid or monthly plan cost, best for banking and accounts you keep long term.
Saudi code not arriving?
- Check the format: +966, then 9 digits starting with 5, with no leading 0.
- Wait at least 60 seconds before you press resend, and don't request codes again and again.
- Make sure you picked the same app on GetVerifyCode that you're verifying.
- If the app says the number can't be used, read why a number can't be used for verification.
- Try a fresh number, or a number from another country if the app allows it.

FAQ
Pick the app and Saudi Arabia (+966) on GetVerifyCode, confirm the live quote, and the number appears right away. The code lands in your inbox, and the activation stays live for about 20 minutes.
Yes. A temporary +966 number receives the code online in your GetVerifyCode inbox, so you don't need a Saudi SIM or to be in Saudi Arabia. Each app still decides whether it accepts the number.
Free public SMS sites sometimes list +966 numbers, but anyone can read those inboxes and popular apps often block them. They suit low-stakes tests only. A private temporary number is the safer choice for an account you care about.
Choose +966 as the country code and type the 9 digits that follow, starting with 5. Drop the leading 0 that people use inside Saudi Arabia.
If no SMS arrives in about 20 minutes, the activation ends and the unused credit returns to your wallet. You can then try a fresh number or another country.
A temporary activation is for one code. If you need the same number for days, check whether a rental is offered for that country and app.
