Ooredoo Qatar
Get mobile, fiber internet and TV service from the operator that put Qatar on the map as the first country in the world with commercial 5G, still majority state-owned today. About Ooredoo Qatar: Ooredoo was established by the Qatari government in 1987 as the Qatar Public Telecommunications Corporation, becoming "Qtel" after a 1998 IPO that introduced public shareholders while the state retained control, and rebranding globally to Ooredoo in 2013. Headquartered in Doha, it was the first operator in the world to launch commercial 5G services, and has grown into one of the world's largest telecom groups, serving over 121 million customers across nine countries in the Middle East, North Africa and Southeast Asia, while remaining majority-owned by the Qatari state through the Qatar Investment Authority. Key Features: 5G & Fiber Network: Access one of the world's most mature 5G networks alongside fiber-to-the-home broadband across Qatar. Bundled Plans: Combine mobile, home internet and digital TV under a single Ooredoo account and bill. Ooredoo Nojoom Rewards: Earn points on mobile spending, redeemable for data, minutes or partner discounts. International Roaming: Stay connected while traveling, drawing on Ooredoo's own operations across the Middle East, North Africa and Asia. How to Get Started: Visit an Ooredoo store, an authorized dealer, or ooredoo.qa to choose a plan. Provide a Qatar ID (for residents) or passport (for visitors) to register a SIM, as required by Qatari telecom regulation. Activate your SIM or eSIM and top up if using a prepaid plan. Manage your account, check data usage and pay bills through the Ooredoo app. Important Notice: Qatari telecom regulation requires SIM registration with valid identification, and visitors on a short stay should specifically ask about tourist SIM or eSIM packages, which are priced and structured differently from long-term resident plans.
