I think u need to stay online on forum to get this answer untill atleast Vodafone starts its operation in Qatar......

These 3G phones r not sold without any of the operators subscription.... So u need to sign up for a connection to get a new 3g iphone.... Till now nobody has come up with a proper way of cracking the iphone to make it use with any GSM.

They will not be sold without operators connections in any country.
