Qatar?

quarry · 19-08-2006, 13:45

Hi
I wonder if anyone can help me. I am going to Qatar for 4 months in a months time and was wondering if anyone knows of a prepaid sim that allows free roaming incoming calls that covers Qatar? I have tried sim4travel as they have a sim from leichtenstein but they dont have coverage in Qatar yet. Or maybe a local Qatar sim that allows free incoming calls, I hope someone has some good info as it could save me loads of money. Thanxin advance for any help offerd.

None of the international cards offers free incoming in Qatar. You should check local sims. In fact only 09 and hop appear to have coverage but none with free as I said

there is only one network in qatar, qatarnet. The web page for their prepaid option is:
http://www.qtel.com.qa/PrepaidHala.do?prodtype=1

It is English so you are lucky

For sure, if you plan to be there for four months, a local prepaid is the way to go.
