Telephone numbers in Kuwait

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 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, 777, etc.

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