Amazon Prime with stc and Mobily: Billing and Cancellation
stc Saudi Arabia lets you subscribe to Amazon Prime through direct carrier billing, and Mobily offers the same via direct billing at SAR 16 per month, with a published promotion of "first 2 months for the price of 1". The practical difference between subscribing through an operator and subscribing directly with Amazon comes down to two things: who bills you, and who you cancel with. Through an operator, the charge lands on your mobile account and cancellation happens in the operator's channels. (Verified 24 September 2026.)
How the stc route works
Subscribing through stc uses Direct Carrier Billing, meaning the Prime subscription value is collected through your account with the operator rather than your bank card. stc publishes its own terms and conditions for this Amazon Prime service, and those terms are the reference for billing, cancellation and amounts due.
Activating Amazon Prime on stc
- Open stc's official channels — the app, or the Amazon service page on its site.
- Select the Amazon Prime service under direct billing services.
- Confirm the subscription with your number.
- Open the activation link you receive, then sign in with the Amazon account you actually shop with.
- Confirm the Prime status appears on your membership page inside amazon.sa.
Link the offer to the Amazon account you genuinely use — moving a membership between accounts is normally not possible.
The Mobily offer, as published
| Item | Detail from Mobily's page |
|---|---|
| Price | SAR 16 per month |
| Promotion | First two months for the price of one |
| How to subscribe | Activation via the service link, billed directly to your Mobily account |

Operator route vs subscribing directly
| Aspect | Via stc or Mobily | Directly on amazon.sa |
|---|---|---|
| Payment method | Mobile bill or prepaid balance | Credit card, mada card, or Amazon.sa gift card balance |
| Where you cancel | The operator's channels | Your Prime membership page on Amazon |
| Promotions | Operator offers, such as two months for one | The SAR 8 for three months promotion, or a free trial if eligible |
| Standard price | SAR 16 per month | SAR 16 monthly or SAR 140 yearly |
If you prefer an annual plan, subscribing directly is the cheaper route, because only Amazon offers SAR 140 for the year.
How to cancel
If you subscribed through stc, cancellation happens with stc under the direct billing terms published on its site — not inside your Amazon account. With Mobily, you can cancel at any time via the service's unsubscribe page, and Mobily flags an important detail in its terms: cancelling the direct billing service does not mean cancelling your other subscriptions with Mobily, so check your subscription list afterwards.
If the offer does not appear
- Check your plan type and whether it is eligible for the service.
- On prepaid plans, make sure there is sufficient balance for the direct billing transaction.
- Promotional offers are generally granted once per account.
- Contact the operator's customer service to confirm your number's eligibility.
Which route should you pick?
Operator billing is the practical answer if you do not have a bank card, or if you want to avoid card authentication entirely. Direct subscription is better if you want the annual plan, the flexibility of Amazon's own cancellation flow, or the current promotional rate. Either way the benefits attach to the Amazon account linked to the subscription.
Compare the operator route with Amazon’s own price side by side on the Amazon Prime Saudi Arabia promo code page. The direct plan costs are in Amazon Prime Saudi Arabia pricing, and if the subscription came through an operator, cancellation goes through them — see cancelling Amazon Prime in Saudi Arabia.
