Firstly I doubt if Qtel launched iPhone, because why on earth would Qtel provide you with Factory unlocked iPhone when there are providing service, if at all they give 200% its for sure it will be locked with Qtel... so as vodafone so this basic reason is enough to prove Qtel never announced iPhone. secondly its starlink trying to cheat ppl with so called unlocked iphones. i bet you can get a genuine factory unlocked 16GB 3G iphones from our own souq for 3200 QAR (couple of friends bought it). i confirm this.

so dont be fooled with factory unlocked iPhones. if you truly want them then get it from ebay from Hongkong.
