Troubleshooting
Common issues and solutions when configuring STC APN settings.
- No data connection on STC SIM
- Verify the APN is set to 'jawalnet.com.sa' with no extra spaces. Toggle Airplane Mode on and off after saving. Check that your STC plan has active data by dialing *166# or using the MySTC app. If the issue persists, reset network settings and re-enter the APN.
- MMS not working on STC
- Ensure MMSC is 'http://mms.net.sa:8002/' with the trailing slash. Set MMS Proxy to '10.1.1.1' and port '8080'. Mobile data must be enabled for MMS to work. MMS does not function over WiFi connections on most devices.
- STC 5G not connecting
- Confirm your STC plan includes 5G access and your device supports STC 5G bands (n78 at 3500 MHz and n41 at 2600 MHz). Check 5G coverage in your area using the MySTC app. Update your SIM to a 5G-compatible card at any STC store. The same APN works for both 4G and 5G.
STC APN Settings FAQ
What is the correct STC APN for Saudi Arabia?
The correct APN for STC internet in Saudi Arabia is 'jawalnet.com.sa'. This APN handles both mobile data and MMS traffic. No username or password is required. The APN works for all STC plan types including Sawa prepaid and postpaid subscriptions. Enter the full domain name exactly as shown for proper connectivity.
What are the STC MCC and MNC codes?
STC uses MCC 420 (Saudi Arabia country code) and MNC 01 (STC network identifier). These codes are automatically detected from the SIM card by your device. Manual entry is only needed if the fields appear blank in your APN configuration. All STC brands and sub-brands share the same MCC and MNC values.

No, STC does not require a username or password for the 'jawalnet.com.sa' APN configuration. Leave both fields blank when setting up the access point. Authentication type should be set to None. This applies to all STC subscriptions including Sawa prepaid, postpaid, and data-only plans in Saudi Arabia.
What is the STC MMS APN?
