You can buy a local SIM card in Kuwait in local communication stores. However, it must be taken into account that there may not be salons in small resort towns, and also that they may not work on weekends and holidays. When buying a local SIM card, carefully study the tariffs and available tariff options (especially in terms of the offered Internet packages), as well as specify the ways to activate them. Also make sure that the included instructions include all the information you need to set up your phone or tablet and that you understand how to do it. If you don’t speak the language, it’s best to ask someone to help you. Attention, without activating a special Internet package, the cost of traffic will be very high even for local operators.

Local mobile operators operate on GSM networks that have active roaming agreements with most international mobile operators. The cost of a minute of a telephone conversation with Moscow is 1,100 Kuv. dinar.
