TROUBLESHOOTING

Common Calling Issues

Most calls connect smoothly. If you encounter problems, check your access code, country code, and number format.

Call won't connect

Verify the full number: +965 followed by 8 digits. Check that you've dialed the country code (965) and not added extra zeros. Ensure your internet connection is stable.

Call drops after a few seconds

Network latency or interruptions can cause early disconnects. Retry the call. If the issue persists, move closer to your router or switch to a more stable connection (Wi-Fi vs. mobile data).

Number format uncertainty

If you're unsure about the local format, ask your Kuwait contact to provide the number with the country code (+965). This removes ambiguity.

Calls to special numbers

Some special numbers (government hotlines, premium services) may have restrictions. Stick to standard landlines and mobile numbers for reliable connections.
