DOHA: Qtel subscribers can now avail of discounted rates as part of the company's latest promotion, this time for its GSM Postpaid services.
The firm's discount on the yearly subscription should benefit new and existing GSM Postpaid customers as well as Hala Prepaid customers, willing to switch their service to postpaid, Qtel said yesterday.
With the yearly subscription, customers will now have the option to pay for their monthly subscription fees one year in advance and not have to worry about monthly fees for an entire year.
During the promotion, new customers can acquire their GSM Postpaid line with a one-year subscription for QR150, instead of the earlier QR450. The QR300 saving is in addition to the existing built-in yearly subscription savings.

Qtel will waive the QR70 conversion fee during this limited offer.
To activate the yearly subscription option, existing GSM Postpaid customers can simply call '111. Hala and new customers need to complete the necessary application at any of Qtel's stores and present it along with personal identification.
