Greetings all,

I'm finally due to arrive in Kuwait in a couple of weeks, and my
Last minute research indicates that obtaining a cell phone plan without a civil Id is difficult. Can anyone please elaborate?

Much obliged

Just use your passport and get a prepaid. It can have both internet and regular phone service. Then when you get your civil ID you can get a postpaid plan
