Qtel Shary Package Misleading Information

By mohamadj

I recently accepted the promotion to change my Qtel Hala card to Shary in order to benefit the cheap overseas call. I read the instruction and sought clarifications through Qtel customer services what happens if I have exceeded my call per month using the free airtimes based on the package I choose. The representative answered I will be charged based on the promotion rate. I was delighted and happily calling hometown almost everyday. To my surprise, I got a QAR 500 bill! When I checked; all the calls I made beyond the free airtime are charge at normal rate for overseas. The information given was really misleading. QAR500 is equivalent to my 5 months bill on Hala. Now to change back to Hala; I have to wait for 3 months from the date I changed to Shary as per the regulations. I am just stuck! Got no choice to wait till 3 months is over to swtich. In this instance Vodaphone is much more better. So you out there still contemplating of changing to Shary... please read between the line of the terms and conditions... so that you will not face the same as I did.

pay for it! It's simple. That's the whole idea of "promotions". It's the fine prints or what they don't say or honor! Same thing with "SALE". You buy what you don't need, because it's cheap! Okay, minus 1 Qtel customer! They don't mind!
