Telecom in Qatar

This category covers telecom in Qatar: mobile, fixed-line and broadband operators and the infrastructure behind them. Residents use it to find a place to buy a SIM or change a plan, and businesses use it when looking at connectivity or data centre services.

Qatar has two licensed mobile and fixed operators, Ooredoo and Vodafone Qatar, and the listings here reflect that. They include Ooredoo's headquarters in West Bay, one of its smaller kiosk counters, the Ooredoo QDC5 data centre in Mesaimeer and Vodafone Qatar in Msheireb Downtown Doha, giving a mix of customer-facing and infrastructure listings.

When choosing a plan, compare data allowances, contract length, roaming options and home broadband bundles. For business needs, ask about dedicated lines, support levels and data centre services. Use the listing's address, map and phone number to find the nearest counter, and bring your Qatar ID when applying. Both operators publish their current plans online, so it is easy to compare offers before visiting a shop, and many requests can also be handled through their mobile apps.
