Yes they pay for the phone rental. My husband used to get 6500 QR for housing allowance, now going up for 9000 QR. We find it is not enough to get a villa in a compound. 4 yrs ago 6500 QR you can rent beverly hills, but now you lucky if u can stay in 3 bedroom flat.

QP used to have falcon club for the recreation for the staff. Now they demolished that and there is no replacement ever since.
