You will need to wait until your orientation to get a SIM card due to the requirement of an Iqama (residence permit); this is waived temporarily at Aramco for new hires where you can get a SIM card when they take you to one of the cell providers. The best provider depends a lot on where you are housed some some networks are better than others in specific locations. The thee major providers are STC, Mobily, and Zain.
The caution is to be sure you have a world phone or one compatible with the frequencies here. This can be a problem for some phones from North America, particularly for 4G service.
