Hi
I have been recruited by a construction company and hopefully moving to Qatar shortly.

I have a few queries which I hope will be answered in this forum...

1) how is the mobile/cellphone coverage in Qatar? especially outside major cities. I'll be initially posted in a camp outside doha,so I anticipate I may not have proper mobile coverage there.

2) What is the cheapest way to call my family. I will be making a lot of calls to India and UK and sometimes to USA.
Also wondering if cheap int'l calling cards of various denominations are available in Qatar.

BTW, am not a skype user.

thank you
chris
