Hi, I will be moving to Doha next week and was curious to know if airtel prepaid number with international roaming activated really works in doha?

Also, can someone help me to understand how much time it takes to get the local Sim card activated and procedure to get that? also which one would be the best?

I had the same problem from 1-12-2021 with Airtel mobile SIM as it was working for the past 8 years.

It is vital to have the Airtel SIM to receive bank OTP and many more services such as Aadhaar etc.

I contacted Ooredoo asking why Ooredoo/airtel mobile signal suddenly disappeared, but the support team had no answer.

I started to explore and found the answer as follows:

Go to Mobile data setting of the Airtel SIM, select the Carrier (choose network provider) in manual (not auto) and select as Ooredoo 3G or Ooredoo (prohibited) in some mobiles.

During the process disable Data roaming, 4G and Volte and keep WiFI Calling enabled.

The Airtel SIM mobile signal will start to work again.

it will work. each time you receive a call, the minimum amount deducted is rs100 from your account.

yes it will work, but i wud suggest to take new local sim card, its very easy to have new local sim card, u can take it at airport only once you landed here in doha. just give ur passport copy and it will activate within 30 min.
