MANAMA, August 28, 2024
stc Bahrain, a digital enabler, has announced the launch of the country’s first SIM Self-Activation “Scan & Go SIM”.
The Scan & Go SIM introduces a seamless, instant mobile SIM activation service utilising advanced AI facial recognition technology. This first-of-its-kind SIM activation service ensures a quick, efficient, and secure activation process for customers, allowing them to purchase a SIM anywhere and activate it seamlessly in the kingdom without visiting any stc branch.
Customers can activate the physical SIM within one minute using the My stc BH app. All they have to do is simply scan the SIM's QR code, select a plan, and verify their identity to start using the new SIM.

Available for purchase at various approved convenient locations, the Scan & Go SIM represents a significant technological leap in customer convenience and innovation. This has been made possible through the forward-thinking approach and collaborative efforts of the Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (TRA).
Furthermore, the stc Bahrain Scan & Go SIM includes several key features. Customers can choose from flexible prepaid or postpaid plans with a variety of voice and data options. The SIM offers a technically free connection, allowing customers to purchase it for 300 fils and receive the equivalent amount back as line credit.
