Quick answer: stc one-time internet packages are useful when you need extra data for a short period without changing your main plan. Current stc options include unlimited daily add-ons from SAR 23, unlimited weekly add-ons from SAR 97.75, and Quicknet prepaid packages ranging from 70GB for 1 month at SAR 138 to unlimited Quicknet Max for 3 months at SAR 1,138.5. Prices shown by stc include 15% VAT.
STC’s one-time internet packages are best understood as short-term data boosters. They are not meant to replace every monthly mobile plan; they are designed for moments when your normal allowance is not enough. That could be a weekend trip, remote work from a hotel, a heavy download day, extra streaming during travel, or a backup connection when home internet is unstable.
The biggest advantage is flexibility. stc’s daily internet page lists an Unlimited for 1 Day package at SAR 23 and an Unlimited for 2 Days package at SAR 40.25. For slightly longer needs, the weekly section lists Unlimited for 1 Week at SAR 97.75 and Unlimited for 2 Weeks at SAR 174.8. stc also states that these prices include 15% VAT, that the fair use policy does not apply to the internet package, and that the package will not be automatically renewed.
Which stc package fits your use case?
If you need data for one urgent task, choose a daily add-on. A one-day unlimited package is the cleanest option for a long video call, a big app update, or a day of navigation and hotspot use. If you are traveling inside Saudi Arabia for several days, a one-week or two-week unlimited package is easier than buying repeated daily access.
For heavier or longer use, Quicknet prepaid is the more structured route. stc lists Quicknet 70GB for 1 month at SAR 138, 120GB for 1 month at SAR 230, 250GB for 3 months at SAR 460, 350GB for 3 months at SAR 632.5, 600GB for 6 months at SAR 1,035, and Quicknet Max unlimited for 1 month at SAR 391. It also lists Quicknet Max unlimited for 3 months at SAR 1,138.5, with all Quicknet prepaid packages marked as without fair usage policy and VAT inclusive.
Postpaid add-ons and Sawa alternatives
Postpaid Quicknet users also have a one-time add-on option: stc lists an Unlimited package for 1 week at SAR 115, activated by sending 2957 to 900. The same Quicknet postpaid page notes that current price offers and increased data are available for a limited time from April 7 to July 6, 2026, and that all Quicknet postpaid packages support 5G.
Sawa prepaid packages are better if you want data plus calls and social benefits in one bundle. For example, stc lists Sawa Basic with 1GB data, 1GB social and 100 local minutes at SAR 34.5, while Sawa Hero includes unlimited data, unlimited social and unlimited local calls/SMS at SAR 414. Sawa Flex plans add international calling options, such as Sawa Flex 100 with 35GB data, 35GB social and 1,000 minutes to local networks and international calls to 17 destinations at SAR 115.
In short: choose daily or weekly one-time internet for temporary pressure, Quicknet prepaid for dedicated data use, and Sawa when you want a broader mobile bundle.
