On October 17, 2008 an expansion of the Kuwait numbering plan was made. Basically all fixed and mobile numbers were added a starting digit as follows:
- Fixed numbers of the format ??? ???? became 2??? ????
- Wataniya Telecom mobile numbers of the format ??? ???? became 6??? ????
- Vodafone mobile numbers of the format ??? ???? became 9??? ????
Kuwait has a closed numbering plan - no area codes are needed to dial out. For complete information on dialing to Kuwait from any country visit http://www.howtocallabroad.com/kuwait/
