STC Customer Help Desk Makkah Haram

April 30 2023. I purchased 2 STC sims to use in my two phones. One had problem getting LTE signal. I have been going to Makkah office in Makkah tower and Dar tauheed. Both offices refuse to communicate other than Arabic and not helpful. All I wanted was to convert sim to Esim. It took me 2 weeks to finally get someone to help me who told me that it will take SAR 29 to convert.I told him I will buy a new Esim whic was SAR 35. So he proceeded, scan my finger and the reader did not work 3 times. He said sorry, you cannot buy sim try other STC office.

1) how is it my fault if your reader doesn't work?

2) STC, if you are posting a staff in Haram office at least station someone who can communicate in English. People all over the world visit here and your staff is proving Zero help to non-Arabs

Desired outcome: STC, if you are posting a staff in Haram office at least station someone who can communicate in English. People all over the world visit here and your staff is proving Zero help to non-Arabs

STC Roaming

Hello good morning

I would like to ask for a refund regarding the roaming service I've subscribed without success while my vacations to Mauritius.

I was deducted 7kds and never used the service as the server was not good enough

After contacting STC via WhatsApp after subscribing the service, my problem as not solved so I ended up buying a local SIM card to be able to have Wi-Fi.

I've reached STC several times after arriving from my vacations and I was told the refund can't be made as I should've call the company within 24h?!

This is not acceptable, I’ll spend a fortune to reach the company by phone call while abroad!?

I’ve contacted through WhatsApp and the problem was not solved.

This is my ID is [protected] (Kuwait resident)

And my phone number for verification 00965 [protected]

I want to keep my account with your company

And use the balance deducted for other roaming service.

Being charged for something you didn’t use it’s disrespectful

Hope to solve this issue on the good way as I have the best impression on the company

Regards

Sónia

Desired outcome: Refund 7kds from unused roaming service

STC Internet

For the past 2 months my internet has been less than what is was when we first got it. For the first few weeks it was extremely fast at around 100mbps with a upload of around 8 mbps with a top speed of 140mbps at 12mbps upload but now it won't go past 30mbps and 5 mbps. Lately, the internet has downright stopped working for minutes at a time which is very annoying as I must attend meetings on Zoom. I want to understand what is changed since Fall of 2021 that is causing this pause of your service every hour of every day. My solution is turning the internet on and off but I would rather not do this.

Desired outcome: Information, why does the wifi stop working every hour? This never happened before

STC FTTH Fibre optic broadband extremely slow and always lags

I work from home and need a consistently fast internet connection. For the last 2 months my fibre optic connection (which should be faster than what I get) has become so slow that I cannot do my work or even stream a youtube video without any lag. This is ludicrous. It has happened for the last 2 months on and off. The latest incident being now on 12/12/2020 at 22:29 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. This occurred in the Munusiyyah neighbourhood close to thumamah road.

What happen to this network. I received message from STC that I have bills about 8, 700 saudi riyals. OMG. I immediately went to STC offices and they give me credit information number and I called it and they told me go to the nearest STC office but the STC offices cannot solve this issue. How come I have bills on post paid even without usage? I did not purchase any postpaid plan on STC. I have used prepaid for almost 10 years already. I brought ordinary load from STC all the way. But why STC why you charge me thousand of Riyal? Are you muslim?why are you making this to your mankind?This is an inside job..Surely you STC knows about this issue. Please help me on it..This is not acceptable.

STC Sawa card

Hi

I bought this card from a retailer in Riyadh Saudi Arabia. I have since moved away from the area

There are two top-ups for 105 sar each purchased

the ink has faded since I bought it on 24-January 2019 and I cannot read the
number on one of them

Can you provide a new number for a 105 sar top up free of charge to make up for this

Thank you

Yours sincerely,

Paul Brady
