Dear All,

I will be moving to Doha, Qatar in about 15 days. I would like to enquire about pay as you go SIM card. I checked up online and it says that 'Hala-the pay as you go SIM card' from Qtel is only valid for 30 days. Can someone shed more light on this?

Thanks,

Galloper is totaly right in the info he gave and you dont have to worry about the validity because when you recharge with QR50 you get 50 days validity and so on... There is also a vodafone sim called red but i wouldnt reccomend Vodafone in Qatar, not because i am a Qtel employee but because Qtel is better in Qatar.

rshiva, the actual "text line" in Qtel page states as follows

 The cost of a Hala line is only QR50. For this you’ll get a Hala SIM card with QR25 initial airtime credit and 150 days initial validity. (30 day credit validity + 120 days reconnect period).

 It is clearly stated that it is 150 days valid and the credit validity for 30 days.
