The Saudi Telecom Company (STC) launched the Diamond and Gold categories of STC's Qitaf Program which allows all of Qitaf customers (Jawal, Hatif, and Broadband) more distinction by offering them additional and exclusive features and special and unique benefits to them only. Qitaf is unique from other programs due to a key feature that allows customers to transfer points from one customer to another. Using this feature, the customer can give points to another to make use of the services provided by STC or redeem the points with services or products from other Qitaf partners strategically located across the Kingdom. Customers wishing to enroll in Qitaf send 1818 to 902 or call the Customer Care Center 907 or visit the Khadamati Portal. Customers should send 1666 to 902 in subscribing to electronic vouchers of the Qitaf program. Eng.
