TROUBLESHOOTING
Most calls to Kuwait connect reliably. If you encounter problems, check these common causes and solutions.
Verify you've dialed +965 (country code) followed by the 8-digit number. Check your internet connection if using browser-based calling. Ensure the receiving number is correct; some special numbers (government, security services) may not accept international calls.
Network instability or congestion can interrupt calls. If calls drop repeatedly, try calling during off-peak hours (early morning or late evening Kuwait time) or using a different network if available.
If the number exists but doesn't answer, try calling during business hours (8 AM–5 PM Kuwait time). Friday–Saturday are weekends in Kuwait; avoid calling Friday morning for business contacts.
Some special numbers (toll-free, government, emergency services, or premium-rate lines) may not work internationally. If a number fails, verify it's a standard landline or mobile number.
