I am an American and I have Motorola razor with Q-Tel sim card whenever I go to USA my phone does not work. You can only receive calls but you cannot call from your cell phone. You can buy sim from T –mobile but calls are expensive when you use this service. Now days they are selling disposable cell phone in USA which you can buy for $20 once you ran out of your allotted minutes you can call toll free number and buy additional minutes with your credit cards AND ITS CHEAP.

1st - QTel has roaming partners in the U.S. such as AT&T Mobility and T-Mobile USA (operating at GSM850/GSM1900), therefore you can use the Qtel sim card.

2nd - Check the specification of the mobile phone you purchased here in Qatar if it works in the 850MHz or 1900MHz frequency. as what others have said a Tri-Band or Quad Band.

Cheers.

If the celphone that you bought here in Qatar is a Tri Band or Quad Band, yes you can use it in USA,but if its a dual band...sorry you can not use it.Qtel provides roaming in USA.I suggest that you use only your Qtel roaming in receiving messages cz the rates in USA is so cheap compare to Qtel rates, you just need to buy a phone card for 5 US$ & you can call your friends where ever they are...

You can use the hala sim whererver you are & the best thing you can still receive & make a call... but the person will call you from qatar & also you, will be charged vice versa...
