DOHA: Qtel’s Virgin Mobile Services (QVMS) has suspended accepting new subscribers in compliance with an ictQATAR order.

Virgin Mobile SIM cards were neither available online nor from their stores. A notice on their website said: ictQATAR has asked us to stop enrolling new customers until ictQATAR confirms that we have fully complied with their orders for how we present and market our services.

Virgin mobile or Qtel authorities were not available for comment. Mobile services operator Vodafone had objected to the entry of Virgin in the market and ictQatar had given a ruling last year saying it had resolved the issue amicably.
