More about calls in Saudi Arabia
- FaceTime is not part of the problem: Saudi Arabia lifted its restriction on licensed calling apps back in 2017, and FaceTime, Skype and Telegram were on that list.
- WhatsApp calling was not, and remains officially restricted.
- Our Saudi eSIMs route with an internet exit outside the country, in Belgium, so the local networks' filtering doesn't apply to them in the same way.
- Being honest about what we can and can't tell you: we have the routing, not our provider's confirmation of how calls behave in Saudi Arabia, so we can't promise a specific call will connect. Messaging, photos and voice notes work normally in any case.
- Saudi Arabia also applies content filtering to certain websites and apps on its local networks. Since our eSIMs exit outside the country, that filtering does not apply in the same way, though we can't promise a specific site will be reachable at a given moment.
