the Templar has landed...
Hey all,
Finally arrived here in doha for 2 years. No bags cause emirates lost em yay!
Just a quick one..
How do i go about getting a local mobile number? Are there prepaid services available here? I really want a mobile on contract as im gonna be here for 2 years, can anyone tell me the requirements i.e do i need my RP before i can apply for one?
Cheers for any advice!
Thanks guys, i just got a customer of mine to get me a postpaid under his company which i can transfer to myself when i get my RP. Took like an hour to get it, but having lived in malaysia for so long im used to queuing :P
LOL OOO yep this is true! See you at 5am sometime ;)
So if I see you on QL at 5am now it means that you are not sleeping too right? : )
Welcome to Doha!
Welcome to Qatar Templar. Good luck on the next two years. ;D I think everyone has already answered your question about the phones, but yes, you can get prepaid calling cards.

Iknlhaving been through the same process myself a few months ago this is the easiest way to begin with - Go to Qtel in City centre - just present your passport and they will give you a pay-as-you go Hala account. Then later on once you have got your RP you can convert it to post paid contract. At least this way you get a number on day one! Good luck.
Go
HY! Welcoem to DOHA!
I hope you are having soem gud time aroun here, if not yet soon you will :)
Well, as far i know you need to have ur local ID for any Q-tel (local tele. service provider) services. for your case you can buy a used number where the owner helps you to use his name. It's not illegal.
Hope me if you need any more info.
