Does CallerID exist on landlines here?
By Expat Sueño •
It bugs the bejeebers out of me that I can't see who is calling when our home phone rings. Does CallerID exist here in Qatar for landlines? (I know it exists for mobiles.)
If so, do I need a special "upgrade" to my landline account. . .or do I need locally-purchased phones? (I'm using my U.S. phones with transformers.)
Thanks,

I think I'll try the 111 option first. . .easier is better! I have Caller ID compatible phones, so hopefully we'll be good to go once they switch it on.

go to qtel and apply for the facility ...if ur phone is already built in with caller ID display then alls cool but if it isnt get urself an external caller ID display from any of the accessory shops or if u wish get a phone with a built in caller ID.
As jolena said, call qtel at 111, it's an "Initial Charge" of 50QR and then will be charging a "Periodic Charge" of 15QR per
month.
You need a new phone with caller-id, they're cheap - go to carrefour.
Answers to all you problems... Visit them at City center, open till 10:00 in the evening.
I was just at QTEL in City Center last night. I signed up. They charged me an "Initial Charge" of 50QR and then will be charging me a "Periodic Charge" of 15QR per month. Doesn't include the phone. You need a specific type of phone with the caller id screen, or the box that can be added to your existing phone. I haven't shop'd for either yet...
Just got to Qtel with and Id copy of the persons name the number is in and subscribe to the service.. its 25 riyals per month..
u have to ask qtel
It does exist here as I have it...but it came with the villa so can't answer your spec questions. Try a shop that sells phones or Qtel direct.
