To check your Zain prepaid balance, dial *142#. To recharge, dial *141* + voucher number + #. To manage your line (bundles and services), dial *959#. Zain customer care is 959 from a Zain line, or +966590000959 from other networks.

Dial the codes from the Zain SIM itself. If your phone has two SIMs, choose the Zain line first.

How to check Zain balance

Open the dialer and choose your Zain SIM.
Dial *142# and press call.
Your remaining balance shows on the screen.

You can also open the Zain KSA app (My Zain). Zain says the app dashboard shows your balance and validity, package details and usage.

Postpaid users: *142# is listed only for prepaid lines. On postpaid, use the app, or send bill to 959 for bill inquiry and credit limit.

How to check Zain data balance

Prepaid: open the Zain KSA app. Your package data and validity are on the dashboard. You can also dial *959# to open the line management menu.
Postpaid: send BC to 959 to get your package remaining benefits by SMS.

Important: Zain’s FAQ says the 959 SMS shortcode is for postpaid lines only. If you are on prepaid and send BC to 959, you will get an error. That is normal. Use the app instead.

How to recharge Zain

Buy a Zain recharge voucher from a supermarket, mobile shop or online. Then:

Method 1: Dial the code

Scratch the voucher and find the number.
Dial *141* + voucher number + #.
Press call and wait for the confirmation.
Dial *142# to check the new balance.
If you are not sure the recharge went through, dial *143# to see your last 3 transactions.

Method 2: Zain KSA app or website

Log in to My Zain and use Payment & Recharge. Zain says you can recharge instantly with a Visa, MasterCard or American Express card.

Method 3: Ask Zain by SMS (postpaid)

On a postpaid line, send recharge to 959 and Zain replies with recharge methods.

How to find your own Zain number

Many people dial *144# from the Zain SIM to see their number. We could not find *144# on Zain’s official pages, so treat it as a common shortcut, not an official code. If it does not work:

Log in to the Zain KSA app. Your number shows in your account.
Call 959 and ask the agent.
On iPhone, check Settings → Phone → My Number (some SIMs do not store the number).

Zain customer care

Channel	Number
From a Zain line	959
From other networks	+966590000959
WhatsApp	+966590005959

All three are listed on Zain’s official contact page. Keep your Iqama number ready when you call.

Common problems and fixes
