it was a third operator brought in into Qatar by q-tel without any approvals from ICTQatar...they have been heavily fined and Virgin mobile might get a life time ban to operate or provide any services in future in Qatar...where as q-tel is trying its level best to prove that virgin is not a third operator...we can clearly see virgin mobile selling their sim cards with their logo on it...no nothing from q-tel...just the series of 33 and 37 from q-tel....basicaly q-tel tried to compete with vodafone qatar with help of another operator...shame on q-tel :P rather then providing their services with low rates under virgin mobile's name i think i would have been better to provide virgin mobile's services and products under q-tel's name....they tried to do a right thing in a through a wrong procedure :D
