There is no area code in Kuwait. As of 17 October 2008, telephone numbers in Kuwait consist of eight digits (with the exception of '800'-style numbers, which are made up of seven digits). From 17 October 2008 a single digit prefix was added to all fixed and mobile numbers as per the Ministry of Communication's new numbering plan:

  • Number 1 was added before all commercial 6 digit numbers (e.g. 800000, 899999, etc.)
  • Number 2 was added before all landline numbers
  • Number 5 was added before all Viva numbers
  • Number 6 was added before all Ooredoo Telecom - Formerly Wataniya Telecom numbers
  • Number 9 was added before all Zain numbers
  • All the three digit lines remained the same without any additional number e.g. 121, 107, 113, 112, etc.

    • On June 15, 2013 the Kuwait's Ministry of Communications (MoC) has announced the launch of mobile number portability (MNP), a service that allows mobile users to change their service provider without the need to change their mobile number.[1]

    Here are the starting codes of landlines sorted by each area or city:
