Qtel rip off

By success4me

I don't want to use my post paid number anymore.The reason;i am being ripped off by Qtel.This is one of the few countries in the world where one has to pay more to service a number than the actual bills.Imagine paying QR65/month(USD17.8/month) for service fee and my phone bills for a month is less than that.

Does anyone know what i can do so as not to pay extra if i want to stop using my post paid number?

I think the service fee is reasonable.

Much lower than most countries.

 

From my experience, from most countries you are in, when you sign a contract with a network you are tied for that duration or you have to pay a penalty

Post Paid are for people who make a lot of calls.

Pre Paid are for people who make less outgoing calls while getting more incomming calls.

 

Just go to any Qtel office & fill Subscription Cancellation form (Carry ID along). I guess the cancellation is fast. (Same day or a week)!

 

Charan how do you know its QR 25K?

How do i cancel the post paid connection?I learnt i would have to inform Qtel of the cancellation one month in advance which invariable means i'd still have to pay the service fee.

I'm at a crossroad.What shall i do?All comments/advice will highly appreciated.
