Hi everyone!
I am planning to buy an smartphone (i. E. Nexus 4) in my country, Spain.
Will this phone work in Saudi Arabia, just changing the sim card?
To get a sim card, with data and cell phone number from KSA, I need my iqama, or anything else?
Regards
Juan

Yes it will work as Nexus 4 phones are unlocked. You can have a visitors sim initially and then transfer to your iqama, once you have it.

I think it's better to buy from here, cheaper prices since no tax

Ok, thanks. Seems clear, the best option is to buy the smartphone at KSA.

Depends which phone you want to buy. New phones like iPhone 5 or nexus 4 are not launched in KSA, hence costly to buy in Saudia.
