TROUBLESHOOTING

Troubleshooting & Restrictions

Solutions for common calling issues and information on network restrictions.

Call does not connect

Verify you have dialed +974 (or 00974), then the full 8-digit number. Check that the number is correct and active. If the issue persists, the recipient's number or network may have restrictions.

Poor call quality or drops

Move to a location with stronger signal. Check your internet connection if calling over data. Network congestion during peak hours can affect quality; try calling at a different time.

Premium or special numbers

Some special numbers (toll-free, premium-rate) may not work internationally. Call standard landline or mobile numbers for the best success.

Roaming or network issues

If calling while traveling, confirm your roaming plan is active. International calling may require a separate add-on or prepaid credit on some carriers.
