Good idea! 
On the otherhand, I guess cigarette companies will lose a lot of dollars from the kingdom! 
And many will be away to the danger of cigarette smoking! 
I wish to see a smoke free (Cigarette free) world. It should be permitted only in designated areas, which should be notified as smoking zones.

I thinking checking it is a more tedious process than to do it again,
If you are a user of STC network, Send your IQAMA number as text to 5855, they will register your sim against your Resident permit. !!
BTW, and for Mobily you can do that online !!
I have done this both, STC after sending SMS would be processing for 24 hours, Mobily you have to go to their website and fill up some online forms plus scanning of your Iqama. No need to go to any of their offices. Cheers.

Congratulations! 
Can somebody provide the link for registering the sim cards of Mobily? I'm not able to find it. It's a matter of life or death for 3 new sim cards. 
Thanks in advance

Guys listen carefully! this is for Saudia's Passengers!
Attention Please!!!! Guys, lend me your ears!!!!
Saudia announces new baggage rules
The Saudi Arabian Airlines will implement a new baggage allowance policy on international routes effective Sept. 1.
The new scheme is based on the piece concept as opposed to the current weight concept.
The airline had informed all travel agents in the Kingdom. In a memo dated July 31, the airline said that the new piece concept has been loaded in all GDSs (Group Decision Support Systems) and it will be automatically reflected on tickets of the passengers.
The specification of each bag would be length 90cm, breadth 75cm and height 43cm.
Currently, international travelers are allowed to carry 40 kg irrespective of the number of bags.
For instance, a passenger could carry three pieces, each weighing 10 kg, or two pieces of 20 kg each, without inviting any surcharge, said S. Waheed Lateef of Azmeel Travel.
This will no longer be the case starting Sept. 1. According to the memorandum, Saudia has specified that each economy class passenger will be allowed to carry only one piece of 32 kg or less. For the first and business class, the airline will allow two pieces of 32 kg each.

Giant taxi company planned
He added: Under the system, all taxis will be monitored through a satellite channel. Their movement, location, and direction will be under surveillance using GPS technology.
He added this would help taxi companies know the whereabouts of each cab and allow parents to keep an eye on daughters who take a taxi.

Mall denies tweets on female cashiers
Volunteers from the Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice (Haia) claimed they have reached agreements with malls in Yanbu to ban female cashiers from working there.
...A few months ago the same situation occurred in Jeddah, where residents criticized the idea of women working, describing it as sinful. The problem does not lie with women working, it lies with people getting used to the idea and adapting to the changing situation, some of the tweets said.
Most people expressed their support for women working as cashiers.
One tweeted: Unofficial forces which scare women looking for jobs to fulfill their needs is not related at all to religion.
Another tweeted: There wont be any development or evolution. Instead of growing we are only going backwards.
