Dear

All

I would like hear your Precious Comments for the Mobile Internet Providers here in Qatar.

1.) Now in Qatar we have 03 Mobile Telecom Providers.

2.) None of these Companies are Providing Unlimited internet Facility for a fair cost.

3.) I have been to many Countries, i.e Whos economy are not much Stronger than Qatar's Economy, But still they have Unlimited internet Access in their Mobile service Providers at a very Normal Price Not even Worth 50 Riyals when you Convert.

4.) Do you think is Fair that You have a Latest iPhone or BlackBerry, paying in Thousands to have such a Nice Phones & in Terms with the Unlimited Internet Acess, Theirs no such servie still available here in Qatar.

5.) I think the Cost for this Unlimited Internet Acess should not be more QR: 150/- Monthly.

6.) Can some one please let me know is Their any service like this here in Qatar

Thanks & Regards

For people who says things like "this is Qatar, like it or leave it" or "cant play football on the moon" or "feel free to go to cheaper countries" I have this to say

you guys are living in a self imposed prison, afraid to question authority, and living on scraps that are handed to you.

this is a dream come true for companies like Qtel and many others here in Qatar, where they will charge you exorbitant rates for the same product/service which you will get at half the price in most other countries.

I see this in most Chinese products, where the same product is less than half price in low income countries compared to here. This is a matter of the trader identifying that people have money here and they will spend more of it.

And of course the housing market, what a joke. for cheap building materials, unskilled labor, we are paying as if we are getting the best in the market, and then they have the b**ls to charge us rent like no other country!

One saying comes to mind "a fool and his money are easily parted"

I have visited all GCC countries and the price of mobile internet or broadband is almost same everywhere.. U can get unlimited internet for ur postpaid subscription or broadband QR 400 below that is 3GB Qr 200, 1GB for QR100, 250MB for QR50.. I also have iphone4 and im using Shahry 130 i get 400 mins local, 50 sms and 50 mb data. And i have added 250mb also..so im paying 180 for 300mb,400 mins and 50 sms..

With Respect, I totally Agree with you, Why to buy such thing where you can Purchase, but interms of Usage you Can't.

You sound like a interesting Person & Thanks for your Valuable Advice.

I think that iPhone or BB are both useless in Qatar, just as a Porsche is. But there are still some monkeys cruising at 80 km/h along the Corniche in a 911 Carrera S!
