5. Handy tips

1. Check out the SMS Inbox on your modem software. You can compose and send SMS really easily and receive updates about how you are tracking to your plan usage. At 80% and 100% of your limit we’ll notify you via your SMS inbox. Other important service related alerts can also be read there.
2. Qtel’s USB modems and the Mobile Broadband service will operate effectively when you roam on one of our partner networks outside of Qatar. You should be aware that Roaming charges can be considerably higher than those we charge here in Qatar and that we can’t control the quality of service you may experience on the other carrier networks. Data consumed whilst Roaming is not deducted from your monthly plan allowance. Click here for the list of countries where you can roam and the associated costs. If you want to disable Roaming please visit any Qtel shop.
3. We strongly recommend you have a good anti-virus protection program for your computer. Some computer viruses can cause huge amounts of download and upload data to occur between your computer and the internet even without you knowing.
4. Be mindful of applications or programs that require large data transfers periodically. Windows and iTunes are examples that can require quite large data updates. We recommend disabling these types of updates temporarily particularly while Roaming on foreign carrier networks.
