Keep a Virgin Mobile Saudi number active abroad from clause 3.2 of the prepaid terms. If you do not recharge or use the line for 90 consecutive days, the account may be closed and the number may be reassigned. Clause 15.2 is a further 90 days after suspension, and it does not replace that sentence.
The Saudi Arabia page sets this card next to stc. stc's two terms pages print 180 days and 360 days for the SIM, and 90 days for the balance. This card is the Virgin page.
What clause 3.2 prints for 90 consecutive days
The Virgin Mobile Saudi 90 consecutive days sentence is the second sentence of clause 3.2. Virgin Mobile's terms, checked 6 October 2026, state: "If you don’t recharge your account or use your line for (90) consecutive days, your account may be closed and your mobile number may be reassigned, in line with CST regulations."
The use in that sentence is a recharge or use of the line. The period is 90 consecutive days. May applies to the account being closed, and may applies to the number being reassigned. Reassigned is the word on this page. The phrase about CST regulations stays inside the sentence. stc prints its own SIM lengths, 180 days on the mobile terms and 360 days on the other terms page, and those pages use re-disburse when a SIM is canceled or expired.
The twelve-month cell on this card is unverified. Clause 3.2 prints the 90 consecutive days, the may, and the reassignment.
What clause 15.2 adds after suspension
The Virgin Mobile Saudi further 90 days after suspension is clause 15.2, and it starts from a suspension that has already happened. The same terms state: "15.2 In addition to clause 14.1, we may terminate this Agreement if: (a) You are a Prepaid Customer, and we have suspended your Services and following a further (90) day period, you have still failed to make a chargeable call or incurred a Charge."
May is the verb on terminate. The customer in item (a) is a prepaid customer. The services have been suspended, and the further 90 day period follows that suspension. The use named there is a chargeable call or a Charge. That is not the recharge or the use of the line in clause 3.2. Item (b) on the page is a different ground, a breach the customer fails to correct, and it is not part of this sentence.
The options page is where this hold sits next to parking the number or letting it go.
What a zero balance still allows
The sentence before the 90 consecutive days is about a balance at zero, not about those days. Virgin Mobile's terms state: "If your balance reaches zero, you’ll still be able to receive calls, but you won’t be able to make calls or use other services until you recharge, except to call our Customer Services or emergency services."
Will still is the verb on receiving calls. Will not is the verb on making calls and on the other services, until a recharge. Customer services and the emergency numbers are the exception that sentence prints. The 90 consecutive days, and the may on closing the account, are the sentence after this one.
