Amounts can be transferred in Saudi Riyals and would be received in the local currency based on the current exchange rate.
According to STC in a statement, the transfer process follows three simple steps consisting in first receiving the list of included countries by sending "10" to "801500"; then sending the country's name to the same number to receive the pricing list and corresponding country code; and finally sending an SMS to 801500 containing "133*the recipient's mobile number*amount reference" to transfer the specific amount.
