TROUBLESHOOTING

Call Issues and Restrictions

Solutions for common calling problems and details on service restrictions.

Call does not connect

Verify the number is correct and includes all 8 digits. Check that you entered +965 first. If the number is valid but still does not ring, the recipient's phone may be switched off or out of range. Try again in a few moments.

Poor call quality or drops

Move closer to your Internet connection or switch to a stronger Wi-Fi network. If using mobile data, confirm you have adequate signal strength. Calling during off-peak hours may also improve connection stability.

Special numbers may not work internationally

Some special-service numbers (toll-free, premium numbers, or government emergency lines) may not be accessible from outside Kuwait. Stick to standard landline and mobile numbers for reliable international calling.
