Johnmaguire....normally we receive the SMSs mentioning the name of promotional company or shop rather than their number.....where is, their names are not saved in our contact list of course. Dont you think it can only be possible with the help of QTEL? e.g if you send me an SMS and your number is not saved in my contacts list, your number will be displayed rather than your name...here its the other way around.

I think its the QTEL that sells our numbers for business purpose. They might be charging the companies. Its just like recieving spam mails due to selling the contacts by mail servers like hotmail, yahoo or gmail etc.

Have you asked Qtel to stop? If you have -- and they have not -- then complain to ictQATAR.

But are you sure Qtel is really at fault? Maybe you're filling-in forms (for example, prize draw tickets) in shops and giving them your phone number in that way?
