Guys, upon reviewing myh company employees phone bills noticed in July atleast 4 of our mobile phones are hacked

i.e. there is call charge to 974 589955 time is zero seconds and cost is .96 to above 1 riyal, when we dial this number is disconnected and pepole claim they do not dial this number, seems like either bug in billing system or some virus hacking, watch out your bills carefully for zero second and this number, anyone else expericed this reproted to Q-tel, ?

YES WHEN YOU TRAVEL YOU WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR THE CALL/SMS FROM qATAR TO WHERE YOU ARE. SO EVEN IF SOMEONE CALLS YOU, IT WILL GO ON YOUR BILL.
