TROUBLESHOOTING
Troubleshooting and Common Restrictions
If your call doesn't connect or you experience issues, here are the most common causes and how to resolve them.
Call doesn't connect
Verify the number format is correct: +973 followed by 8 digits. Check that you have an active internet connection (for browser-based calling) or network coverage (for mobile). If the issue persists, try the call a few minutes later; temporary network issues are rare but can occur.
Poor call quality or lag
Call quality depends on your internet connection and network conditions. If you experience issues, try calling on a Wi-Fi network instead of mobile data, or move closer to your router. Restart your browser or connection if quality degrades mid-call.

Need to call a Bahrain mobile or landline
