Saudi STC customers to get free access to Shahid VIP

Saudi Arabia - STC and MBC Group have announced the signing of a joint partnership to offer Shahid VIP, MBC’s premium subscription video on demand (SVOD) service, to STC customers for no additional cost for the duration of two months.

“This is in line with both companies’ continued mission to offer customers and audiences the best content from the region and beyond,” a statement said.

STC users can now watch a variety of exclusive and original Arabic TV shows and movies. Users will also gain access to MBC’s live channels anytime anywhere via the Shahid app available on smartphones and a number of Smart TVs — directly via their STC account.

Under this new agreement, STC customers will receive a two-month Shahid VIP package free of charge by signing up to the platform using their packages. STC customers must send “1” via SMS to 808885 to start their content viewing journey. Following the promotion, STC customers who would like to convert and continue their viewing journey can do so for SR19.99 ($5) per month, which can be directly added to a customer’s STC post-paid monthly bill for convenience. Payment is also available via deduction from a prepaid offering via the Sawa SIM.

This partnership comes in conjunction with the MBC Group launching an exclusive and diverse set of Arabic-language series and other programs this Ramadan, in addition to Shahid Originals and Shahid Premieres offering content shown for the first time, as well as family entertainment content from Disney, Marvel and Pixar — in both Arabic and English languages. Meanwhile, content on Shahid VIP can be downloaded for offline viewing, and is streamed ad-free for no interruptions.
