Beware of Q-tel!

Welcome everyone,

It is my first time to post here, and I feel like this is a very important issue here.

Qtel

For years they have become a monopoly in Qatar and all our telecommunictions come from Qtel. But, now we have a new company Vodafone.

Qtel, well, are theives... I upgraded by Blackberry service to international status for a fee of 250 (or so) riyals per month. After two weeks I recived a bill of 4500 riyals!! I barely used the net and all my BB usuage was limited to email, and chat. I called Q-tel and they have no idea!

Secondly, the 29 DHs rate per minute of international calls applies only to 5% or so of the public who are enrolled in the Shahry 500(?) package. Talk about a cheap way of advertising.

Thanks Qtel but Ill take Vodafone any day!

PS. I dont, will not, and have not worked for Vodafone =)

I used my Qtel mobile internet about half a dozen times in Spain, for a few minutes each day over 3 days. Qtel charged me QAR 2000!!
