Ok its my 4th day in Riyadh I got a mobile phone yesterday with mobily. I keep trying to call 7 digit phone numbers and it wont work. I tried adding 9661, then the 7 digit number but this does not work either. What do I need dial to call local numbers?

If the number is
+966 1 XXX-XXXX then locally it would start with 01
+966 50 XXX-XXXX then locally it would start with 050
Same goes with 55, 56.

They should work just fine as +966 50 123-4567. It's better to have them that way in case you travel with the same phone.
