Ministry of Communications has launched a drive to recover outstanding dues on landlines by April 26th. If dues are outstanding after April 26th you risk of landline disconnection. Already pre-recorded messages are being played to subscribers nearly daily, if your bill payment is outstanding. I received an automated call yesterday [although in Arabic], to clear the outstanding bills.

Now there are 2 ways to do this..long way and short way. Long way means you go to you local telephone exchange and pay the dues which means skipping work for most of us. Or you can check your balances online and pay them via your bank’s online services. I bank with NBK and this facility is available in their online offerings. Anyways here is the drill  for checking and paying your landline bills online:

1. Visit the MOC website and login [LINK]

(STEP 1)

2. You will need your landline number [use the new number with 2] and civil id number that was used for registering the telephone line

(STEP 2)

3. Check your balance

(STEP 3)

4. Login to your banks website and pay your bills
