SMS Roaming
The SMS Roaming Service allows all SabaFon subscribers to send and receive SMS from postpaid lines through international roaming operators around the world. This service is provided free of charge, without the need to pay a deposit, and remains active until it is canceled.
The cost of sending SMS messages under this service is based on a unified rate of 100 Yemeni Rials per message, except for satellite networks.
For receiving SMS messages while roaming internationally, SabaFon does not apply any charges or fees, as this service is completely free.
Please note that the service must be requested while you are within SabaFon’s network coverage, as it cannot be activated from outside Yemen. Also, make sure to activate the service before leaving Yemen, since once it is activated, you will no longer be able to make calls or send faxes or data unless the service is canceled.
