TROUBLESHOOTING

Calling Issues & Restrictions

Most calls from Nepal to Kuwait connect seamlessly. If you encounter issues, check these common causes and solutions.

Call drops or poor audio quality

Check your internet or mobile signal strength. If using a browser-based calling service, ensure your connection is stable. Move closer to a router or cell tower if needed.

Number does not connect or reaches the wrong recipient

Verify the full number format: +965 [area code] [local number]. Confirm the area code is correct (1–8 for landlines, 9 for mobile). Double-check the 7-digit local number for typos.

International access denied by your provider
