How to read a number

+97431234567

+974Country code
Qatar.
3Mobile prefix
Under the CRA's National Numbering Plan (version 7, September 2014), Qatari numbers are always 8 digits: first digit 3, 5, 6 or 7 means mobile, 4 means landline and 800 is freephone, and no digit carries any geographic meaning. Mobile numbers are handed to operators sequentially in blocks of 100,000, and they have been portable since 2012, so the range doesn't identify the operator.
1234567Remaining 7 digits
The subscriber number.

Dialled domestically as these 8 digits; there is no trunk prefix.

Physical SIMs can sign up without issues. Note that VoIP calls are regulated locally, but signing up itself is unaffected.

Carriers & prefixes

Mobile prefixes by carrier.

Number portability applies — a prefix only shows the original carrier.

Porting rules in full

Number portability has been available since 2012. You go to a shop of the operator you want to move to and fill in an application; according to the CRA, porting usually takes one working day once the application is complete. The operators listed on the CRA's portability page are Ooredoo and Vodafone. Because numbers move, the range doesn't tell you the operator.

  • Ooredoo Mobile carrier

    Qatar's incumbent operator.

  • Vodafone Mobile carrier

    Qatar's second operator.
