You can visit Lulu hypermarket / Landmark mall and get the SIM card sametime.

They have some good looking outlets coming up, I think they even started their outlet at Al Meera (Muntazah).

costs more than 0.5 riyals, that's for sure. So they are cheaper than Skype. This is insane.

are you receiving any type of sms from the number with 4-5 digit? if so then thats why you are loosing your balance. Just send a sms typing STOP to same number so it will stop to decreas the balance.

calling through internet to landline or mbile phone to other countries often didn't give you a good clear sound quality...

it's really great to shift. But you can always call free using the internet. If that promo is lifetime, then it means trouble to Qtel. But if it's only for a certain season (which is most probably) then, maybe it's worth the try. That's the benefit of having competition, hope the consumer gets the positive benefits.

very good offer from Vodafone... A BIG DIFFERENCE... now actually this will draw user attention towards them... with the launch Vodafone is now putting QTEL in a defensive position...

I have been calling qtel to complain on why my load was decreasing,

dialled 180 -operator ses press 2 for english, then I press 2 then again the electronic operator said press 2 for english. watdapak

at last somebody answered, ask for the number of the complain section of qtel then she told me call 4400400

dialed 4400400 and after a long wait, somebody answered and told me to call 4400593

dialled 4400593 and at last it's been an hour dialing the f+cking number and still nobody's answering

Nothing is bad news for Q-Tel....

Q-Tel can match them (their price) and then it will be packup time for Voda-clowns.

Reminds me of Reliance's mobile campaign in India. Mobile for QR 40. (Although it created a lot of loss for the time being.....it encouraged almost everbody to buy the mobile...once you have it you are hooked).

I guess Qtel has to find a quick fix and match up the offer else ...

The offer is really tempting...!
