How do I top-up my Hala account from outside Qatar?

Hello,

I bought a Hala card in May, have run out of credit and would like to top-up. The problem is that I'm not currently in Qatar and I don't have a credit card issued in Qatar. All the options for topping-up listed on the Ooredoo site require the user to either be in Qatar or have a credit card issued by a bank in Qatar for the online option.

I have tried Starlink, but they now say the online recharge is no longer available.

Does anyone know if there's a store that sells top-up cards or vouchers through the post that will accept foreign credit cards or PayPal?

Thank you.

Thank you for your answers.

No, I can't do it from my bank website. I've tried!

Any Visa or MC issued in Qatar will work! The Ooredoo site says "Only valid credit cards issued in Qatar may be used with the eTopUp and ePayment service." In any case, I tried with my foreign-issued card and it was refused.

Any MASTER or VISA card should be okay to topup
