Qtel has announced an 80% discount on all international calls to Palestine, to enable people to stay in touch with their relatives and friends there.The reduction applies to all calls made to Palestine from land line, mobile phone (Hala and Shahry), Q-Card, Dawli Card and payphones, Qtel said yesterday.

The discounted rates will be offered during the entire month and extended if necessary, Qtel said. Qtel executive director (Group Communications) Adel al-Mutawa said: “Qtel’s gesture is in solidarity with people of Palestine. We want to ensure that people can stay connected with their friends and loved ones in Palestine. Our thoughts and prayers are with our Palestinian brothers and sisters at this time.”

Qtel is a long-standing supporter of charitable efforts for Palestinian people. In April 2008, the company had raised more than QR7mn through a special auction of easy-to-remember mobile phone numbers, with the proceeds going to the Red Crescent to support its Palestine efforts.
