📱 Kuwait’s Sahel App Adds “My Numbers” Feature — Why It Matters

Kuwait has added a useful privacy and security feature to the Sahel government app called “My Numbers” (أرقامي).

Launched by the Communication and Information Technology Regulatory Authority (CITRA) in cooperation with Kuwait's telecommunications companies, the service allows citizens and residents to view the mobile numbers and telecommunications services registered under their names.

Most people know which mobile number they currently use, but there may be older, unused or unfamiliar telecom services still registered under their personal information.

The new service gives users a central way to review these records rather than simply assuming everything registered under their name is correct.

CITRA says the service is intended to improve transparency, help users verify their personal information and strengthen digital privacy.

Through the service, users can check the telephone lines and telecommunications services registered under their names with different telecom companies in Kuwait. The service is available to both Kuwaiti citizens and residents.

If you notice a number or service you don't recognize or no longer use, don't ignore it. Verify it with the relevant telecom operator and ask what action is required.

For expatriates especially, mobile numbers can accumulate over many years — changing operators, replacing SIM cards or keeping old lines that are no longer actively used.

Having one government-linked place to review what is registered under your name makes it easier to spot something unexpected.

Zain, which supported the initiative, also highlighted that the service can help users identify unknown or unused lines and take the necessary action.

Open the Sahel (سهل) app and look for the My Numbers / أرقامي service.

Sahel is Kuwait's official unified government application, providing citizens and residents access to government services, transactions and official notifications from their phones.

CITRA recommends that users review the numbers registered under their names to ensure their information is accurate.

A small check that could prevent a bigger problem

“My Numbers” isn't one of Sahel's flashy features, but it's the kind of service worth checking occasionally.

If everything listed belongs to you, you're done.

If something unfamiliar appears, you've discovered it early enough to investigate.

For Kuwait residents, that makes أرقامي a simple but genuinely useful addition to Sahel.
