Hi All,
I am new to the blogging thing. Can you help me. I dont understand how I see so much advertising from Qtel which must be costing a fortune and yet nobody is saying anything about this. They already have almost all the customers.

I have heard from a friend who knows them and they say they are spending 200 million QR -isn't that money better of in the customers hands or the share holders. Thats more than 100 QR per person in Qatar.

QTEL charges are the highest, especially the ADSL. Intead of reducing the charges, they always try to attract more customers by offering free connections, free first three monts, etc. and what after that???

What competition for QTEL? Vodafone is a bloody joke in Qatar nothing but Qtel's puppets. So far i dont see anything that they are offering to entice me to consider taking a Vodafone no. All this while of ho hum and they couldnt even get the freaking Iphone to launch till now. WTF are they sitting on their asses and expect customers to just fall in their laps? I still cant see ANY Vodafone advertisements just hear some crap on QBS radio. Vodafone is Vodajoke

Good Fortune always comes knocking at your door...when you are sh*tting in the toilet!! :)

Hi All,

I dont understand how I see so much advertising from Qtel which must be costing a fortune and yet nobody is saying anything about this.

What is it you don't understand, there is a new company starting services (VODAFONE) it means competition for QTEL, and the best way to compete is to advertise/promote new services, new rates, new plans etc etc etc. In fact QTEL already knew that VODAFONE was going to be in the market in 2009 so this "advretising budget" for sure was being studied a while ago.

On the other hand I'm not a shareholder in QTEL otherwise I would have already asked for a detailed explanation on expenditures and why the increase in "adevertising".

I have heard from a friend who knows them and they say they are spending 200 million QR -isn't that money better of in the customers hands or the share holders.

Your friend knows them or knows somebody working in QTEL and this person heard this number ina conversation he was not mean to llisten??...then I can say this is a rumor unless you mention your source and we can verify that source and the info provided.

If they are "going to spend/are spending" that ammount of money for sure shareholdders must have agreed to that, if not then I would call it FRAUD (?!)....how would you call it??

In the end your concern is??

Regards!!
