Number formats and examples are generated from [libphonenumber-js numbering-plan metadata](https://github.com/catamphetamine/libphonenumber-js).

## How to call Kuwait

| Calling from | Dial |
| --- | --- |
| A mobile phone, anywhere | `+965 500 12345` |
| United States & Canada | `011 965 500 12345` |
| UK, Europe & most countries | `00 965 500 12345` |
| Australia | `0011 965 500 12345` |
| Inside Kuwait | `500 12345` |

Kuwait does not use a trunk prefix, so the number you dial at home is the same one you dial after +965.

## Calling abroad from Kuwait

To call another country from a Kuwait landline, start with the exit code **00**, then the destination country code. On a mobile phone, holding **0** to type **+** works everywhere and replaces the exit code.

## Missed call from +965?

If you don’t know anyone in Kuwait, be careful with short missed calls from international numbers. “One-ring” scams hope you call back a premium-rate line. Don’t return the call, don’t share codes sent by SMS, and block the number if it keeps calling. A genuine contact will usually leave a message or text.
