Good day!

I bought a mobile SIM card under my Iqama number, for my wife who recently arrived
last July under my sponsorship (resident visa).

She already use it in registration for her Tawakalna and Sehatty App,. since she has not yet received her Iqama at that time.
Is it OK for her to permanently use that mobile number for her future transactions? (bank, hospital, government, etc.). Will there be any violations of any Saudi law?

thanks,
John

other than bank, i don't think there is anything major to worry about.
