Options for Iphone in Qatar

Ok so here's the deal, I'm moving to qatar in about a month.
I currently have the Iphone 3g, and I am kinda interested in getting the iphone 3G S.

I can unlock my iphone here easily, but what are the option to use it in qatar?

Can I just get a plan though Qtel? I went to their website but not sure if i can get a plan with my own phone, and does anybody know what the cost is? can they provide unlimited internet? Or how do those who have the iphone in qatar use it?

I know vodafone is bringing the iphone to qatar, anybody knows when that will happen?

Thank you!

The QR400 Unlimited Mobile Internet is a service for laptops etc via USB dongle (as per QTel support). It is not a data plan for any phones (including iPhone). And the "unlimited" itself is misleading, it is more like 15GB per month limit (which should be plenty for normal use on a phone, if it were available on a phone!).

First of all, Qtel offers monthly postpaid plans. Your choice of Plan 130, 200, 300 & 500. With regards to unlimited internet, you can subscribe to Qtel's Mobile Broadband with unlimited plan of 400 riyals a month. But if you can manage to have a DSL connection in your home, much better because it is cheaper. You can visit qtel.com.qa for additional information. Better yet, visit one of their branches. For Iphone, i heard it too that Vodafone will bring IPhone to Qatar. But don't expect it will be coming soon. I am also interested in Iphone 3G S but i am not sure when it will be available.

Yes, you just come, and you have all waht u wanted in here with unlimited download by Q-tel for QR. 400/- monthly rental. Forget about vodaphone, it is a new company but Q-tel is giant Corp. in Qatar offering all services in a very competative rate.

Hello,

Welcome to Qatar.

No plans till today for the IPhone with QTel.

All Iphone users are still waiting for Vodafone to start working so we can, at last, use our IPhones efficiently.
