Pro Tip: After recharging, dial *102# once to confirm the new balance landed correctly before relying on it for an urgent call, since a voucher entered with an extra space or missing digit fails silently rather than partially crediting your account.
Method 1: Recharge With a Voucher Code
- Buy a Virgin Mobile recharge voucher from any authorised retailer, or a digital voucher online
- Scratch the card to reveal the voucher number
- Open your phone’s dialler
- Dial *101* followed by the voucher number exactly as printed, then #
- Press the call button
- Your balance updates within seconds
For example, a voucher numbered 1234567890 is redeemed by dialling *101*1234567890#. This is the fastest method and works with zero balance on the account.
Method 2: Recharge Without a Voucher Number Ready
If you want to recharge by card without a physical voucher in hand:
- Dial *101# and press call
- A menu appears with two options
- Press 1 to recharge using a card
- Press 2 to recharge using a debit or credit card
- Follow the on-screen prompts to complete the payment
This method is useful if you are recharging with a saved payment method rather than a scratch card.
Method 3: Virgin Mobile App
- Download the Virgin Mobile KSA app from the Google Play Store or Apple App Store
- Register your account with your Virgin Mobile number
- Tap Add Credit
- Select the amount you want to load
- Tap Pay Now
- Add a new debit or credit card, or select a saved one
- Confirm the payment
The app supports Mada, Visa, and Mastercard, and is the most convenient method if you prefer not to buy a physical voucher.
Method 4: Recharge Through SADAD
Virgin Mobile is registered as SADAD biller 151, confirmed directly by Virgin Mobile through their official channels. This means you can recharge through any Saudi bank’s app without needing the Virgin Mobile app itself.
- Open your bank’s mobile app
- Go to the Payments tab
- Select One-Time Payment
- Tap Telecom and Internet
- Select 151, Virgin Mobile
- Enter your Virgin Mobile number and the amount to recharge
- Confirm the payment
Most Virgin Mobile postpaid bills are also settled through SADAD, since postpaid customers have fewer alternative payment options than prepaid users.
Method 5: Call the Helpline
Dial 1789 from your Virgin Mobile SIM and follow the automated voice instructions to recharge by voucher or card. This number is Virgin Mobile’s official support and self-service line, confirmed directly on their website.
What Happens After You Recharge?
Once your recharge lands, dial *102# to confirm your updated balance. Virgin Mobile does not have a separate recharge code specifically for internet data. Recharging adds credit to your main account balance, and you then subscribe to a data bundle from that same balance. Do it either through the app or by dialling Virgin Mobile’s data bundle activation code.
If you send a recharge and your balance does not update within a minute, dial *102# to check before trying again, since redialing the same voucher code a second time will return an error rather than a duplicate credit.
About Virgin Mobile in Saudi Arabia
Virgin Mobile Saudi Arabia is operated by Beyond One Saudi for Telecommunication LLC, the same parent company that operates the Friendi mobile brand in the Kingdom. This shared ownership is worth knowing, since it explains why some online guides mix up details between the two brands, despite Virgin Mobile and Friendi being marketed as separate, independent SIM products.
New Virgin Mobile subscribers can choose their own six-digit number following the 057 0 prefix, where the number is still available, rather than being assigned one automatically. This is a distinctive feature not commonly offered by other prepaid operators in Saudi Arabia.
For official information beyond recharging, including current data packages and postpaid plans, see Virgin Mobile’s official website.
If you are unsure which operator a specific SIM registered under your Iqama belongs to, including a Virgin Mobile line, the CST Argami SIM check guide covers how to verify every SIM linked to your identity across all Saudi networks.
Troubleshooting: When the Recharge Code Fails
| Problem | Fix |
|---|---|
| “Invalid voucher” error | Re-enter the voucher number exactly as printed, with no spaces |
| No response after dialling | Check you have signal and retry in an open area |
| Balance does not update | Wait one minute, then dial *102# to check before retrying |
| Voucher already used | Contact 1789, since a used voucher cannot be redeemed twice |
| Still not working | Call the helpline on 1789 or visit a Virgin Mobile store |
