Due to the impending travel (see next post) we decided it would be a good idea to bite the bullet and finally get a mobile phone. Added to this is the fact that potentially we are the only people living in Qatar without one as we continue to get strange looks every time we are asked for our mobile number and reply “we don’t have one”. We had already purchased a SIM card as Qtel are having a ½ price sale during January, so we thought we better get one while they are cheap; QR 100 (instead of the usual 200) and you get QR 100 credit with that. A bit of a bargain!
We actually went to Carrefour yesterday and came away with a Motorola for QR 499, but after bringing it home and charging it up, we discovered the screen didn’t work. This morning we took it back... they played around with it and discovered the same as us… that it didn’t work… and gave us a refund. So today we came home with a Sony Ericsson w300i for QR 650 (about $AU220)… and it works! Of course the only problem now is that our old mobile has died… the Optus SIM card is no longer registered so we can’t access any of the numbers that were stored on it!
But anyway we now have a mobile with about 6 numbers in it… at least we wont be getting anymore strange looks when asked for our contact details!
