Hello everyone,
I'm new to town and need to know how to set up cell phone internet access. I don't have a land line, that is not an option. Any advice would be apprecited.

Thanks for the advice, i'll give it a try. Do you know of any other ways to access the internet that are cheaper? Having a land line in my situation is not an option.

here you go...

first go to www.freedom.com

its the qtel bot page.

there you enter your gsm phone model

then later your telephone number.

qatar starts with +974 ??? ????

this will send you the settings to connect to the Internet.

takes a couple of seconds to come.

if you want to enter the settings manually go to www.qtel.com.qa

select english if you dont have arabic then you have to look around 'cause I don't remember.

if you want to connect another software inside the phone

remember to set the proxy settings right.

when dialling from the laptop via the GSM phone you use *99# or *90# I don't remember well. don't forget to set the connection setting FROM THE LAPTOP SIDE to the same proxy setting of the phone. for windows thats right click properties on the connection setting.

hope this helps. if not we'll try to help a little bit more.

be careful! qtel charges a hefty(!) price for the service.

close all image and script downloads.

Burnout.

Beware! :)

Home for me is in central Texas. I've been around for a little over 2 years in this part of the world but my first time in Qatar, needed some advice on how things work over here and this seemed to be the place to find out.
