Kuwait New Numbering Plan

New numbering scheme will be introduced here in Kuwait starting October 17, 2008. 

The Kuwait New Numbering Plan will provide ample range of telephone number (both mobile and fixed line) to support new users and more advanced services.

New digit will be added to all landline and mobile numbers, as per the Ministry of Communications new numbering plan.  The changes will be as follows:

• Number 1 will be added before all commercial 6 digits numbers e.g. 800000, 899999, etc.
• Number 2 will be added before all landline numbers
• Number 6 will be added before all Wataniya Telecom numbers
• Number 9 will be added before all Zain numbers
• All the three  digit lines will remain the same without any additional number e.g. 121, 107, 113, 777, etc.

Here is a quick number converter posted at Wataniya Website.  Just provide your existing number and the new number will be generated based on the Kuwait’s New Numbering Plan.
