Always Use the Country Code

Mobile Numbers Are 10 Digits

Nepal mobile numbers start with 98, 97, 96, or 99 and are followed by 8 digits. When dialing internationally, use the full +977 9XXXXXXXXX format.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Common Issues & Solutions

Solutions for call failures, connection problems, and number format issues when calling Nepal from Kuwait.

Call Won't Connect

Ensure you entered +977 followed by the correct area code (for landlines) or the full 10-digit mobile number. Double-check there are no spaces or extra characters. If the number is correct, try again after a few seconds—international routing can occasionally delay connections.

Poor Call Quality or Dropped Calls

Check your internet or mobile signal in Kuwait. Call quality depends on your connection speed. Move to a location with stronger WiFi or 4G/5G signal, or try calling at a different time if the network is congested.

Number Rejected or 'Not a Valid Format' Error

Verify the Nepal number format: mobile numbers must include the 98–99 prefix and be 10 digits total after +977. Landline numbers must include the correct area code (1 for Kathmandu, 61 for Pokhara, etc.) and be 6–8 digits after the area code. Omit any leading 0 used domestically.

High Call Cost or Unexpected Charges

Review the per-minute rate shown in Sayfone before you call. Sayfone displays your rate upfront at 48¢/min—transparent pricing or surprise charges. If you see a different rate, verify you are using an official Sayfone link or contact Sayfone support.

Calling a Special Number (Government, Emergency, or Premium Services)

Some government hotlines and premium-rate services may not be reachable from Kuwait. Standard landlines and mobile numbers should work reliably. If you cannot reach a specific service, confirm the number is active and available for international calling.
