Waelzzzz.... ...Hey dude, Customer service isnt the only way to get to the top 20 in the world...think about that for a moment, at the rate at which they are acquiring companies outside Qatar, that is also one way to get to the top 20 buddy...
And come on folks, QTel isnt that bad, its just that they are bad because they own the monopoly, and we dont have anyone else to blame or hate...
Just wait till the 2nd operator, lets see how they get things done....
Cool_Dude said
The article on gulf-times says one more thing too.... ...It says there are indeed some areas where q-tel is supposed to improve which they admit.
We would have to ask what all are those areas....

QTEL complaints ...Once you GET your service it runs pretty smoothly -- although I think their pricing system is quite high -- but anything that requires customer service? You can put them in the same category as Qatar Airways.

i had problems with my ...i had problems with my mosaic for three continuous weeks,due to which i had to call their call centre almost daily. after a few days the guy there recognised me"u again "he said!!!!
i didnt know whether to laugh or yell at him.
its not like Qtel didnt try to fix it. i had six different technicians visit my home at sic different times,over the three weeks claiming they had fixed the main box or replaced the old cables with new etc etc etc but the result was always the same!!!!
we eventually got our mosaic disconnected and got adsl only. It has been there but very slow and this morning it disappeared!!!!
i cant call international numbers from my landline because i get connected to wrong numbers or fax machines every single time. its been three weeks since i complained but so far no help from qtel!!!!!!!
can there be more dissatisfaction????
KatKutter said
qtel? customer service? ...qtel has no notion of customer service. the people who deal with customers seem to be nothing more than trained monkies reading off scripts with no understanding of any issue at hand!
10thFloor said
Qtel is rated #1 for customer satisfaction........IN QATAR ...Qtel is the BEST phone company here. They do not even have one competitor who is even close in customer satisfaction. They don't even have one competito!
For example, I pay for 2mb connection and I am forced to be satisfied with 35-96 kbps download speeds in the evenings when every body is online. That is a lot better than and of my other OPTIONS

Vodafone may not beat Qtel ...Vodafone may not beat Qtel in the price but I am sure it will beat them in customer service.

What a topic ...Q-Tel must have definitely tipped the company who conducted the survey. What was the source of survey? BullS***.
Customer support is more like a stress relief poster on a concrete wall which reads ”Hit your head here”
Bunch of *****. They make me sick… Yukkkkkhhhhhh.
It’s a pity there is no other alternate. Q-tel should start hiring Professionals who knows the meaning of WORK & Support.

Du - a Dubai based Telecom company ...came in competition with Etisalat ... no doubt Etisalat services are excellent but Du successfully grab hundreds of customer due to their offer and calling rates .. with Etisalat if you call from mobile to mobile the charge is 30fils (30dirhams - Qatari) per min... u call for 10 sec or 1 min 30fils are gone but incase of Du they introduced call per second .... if you call for 10 sec you will not be charged 30fils you will be charged like 5fils only for 10sec ... same call charges applies for international calls !
I think Vodafone will start the same service "Call per Second" which will be really great and will save lots of money specailly for frequent callers or for business !

very interesting satisfaction!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ...i wonder how Q-tel can say good customer satisfaction!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! infact the worst service is from Q-tel..... a incident with me.....
i had a land line and ADSL of 512 Kbps and after a year i increased the ADSL speed to 1MB which was monthly 300 riyal and 33 riyal for land line phone.... i used to pay the bill monthly.... on the 2nd month from increasing the speed, when i went to LULU branch to pay monthly bill as usual, i got shocked when the cashier told me the bill amount is 2500 riyal... i discussed with them how it can be this?? but no clue.... no records... then i went to Alsaad branch... went to customer service.. but no clue how this amount came... then i took statement of last 5 months and waited to meet supervisor.. as he told me to wait and will come soon, i waited for 3 hours but could not meet him... the next day i went and meet another supervisor and told him all the story and after a long discussion we found that the new amount monthly 300 riyal has been charged since the ADSL was installed which should be from the month only on which i had increased the speed.. then i registered the complain to biliing dept and waited for some relief... the next month it reached to 3000.. i visited again and again new story and no conclusion.... i was very disappointed.. but could do nothing.. rather than paid all the bill and cancel ADSL and phone line.......this is Q-Tel......
lamea said
the heading should be ...the heading should be changed to"no change in Qtel customer dissatisfaction'!!!!!

Qtel has a complaint desk ...Qtel has a complaint desk at Al Sadd, it's desk number 12. A polite employee will register your complaint on the computer and give you a reference number, and that's the end of the story....
I went there almost 3 weeks ago to complain that my landline is still not working since installation... well until today it is still not working.

qtel ...hello n&s we do have the same problem only mine is for ADSL connection. I went thru same process calling 115 almost everyday since 7th of April. Lately I decided to write a letter addressing to Mr. Al Sayed, the Director of Customer Service and handed to one of the personnel of Al Sadd. Sadly still no action was carried out by the technical department until the next day that I decided to write a follow up letter. This time I went to Qtel Tower near Four Seasons Hotel to see personally Mr. Al Sayed. His office is located at the 10th floor. Unluckily I didnt find him there instread I talked to her secretary. After a thirty minutes of waiting, a call emanating from a qtel technical person telling me to check my connection. When I came home my connection was already working. I dont know if what is customer service are there for. Surely they only recieve your complain and send them thrash. Qtel is very poor in after sales.

Though some people in qTEL r smart some piss me off!!!!! ...THe onLY way qtel is gonna get in the top 20 telecoms in the world is they all get bankrupt and theres only 20 left.HERES AN ACTUAL PHONE CALL, I did Feel bad afterwards
LINE: ring ring
Qtel: qtel installation dept how may i help you?
ME: hello erm i have a problem with the internet, it wont get online.
Qtel: Okay could you please make sure that your qtel modem is...
Me: Listen I bought a 3com and a Linksys and they both tell me the same thing. I dont want to use your modem because it isnt wireless.
Qtel: Did you enter your settings correctly?
Me: Yes, I even know your lines encapsulation 8/35
qtel: Excuse me?
Me: You dont know what encapsulation is?
Qtel: No. We dont even support your gateways. I cant help you.
Me: TheN why the hell am I even talking to you? I might as well connect to the internet using my house phone, write down the data 0101010101, in fact why dont i disconnect and shout at u from my roof, better yet ill improve your current service with a can on a string!
Qtel: You dont havnt to be talking bad like that! Or I will terminate
Me: well i was actually complimenting you but the reception was so bad it sounded like an insult. But Terminate, ill talk to myself all day, at least ill be in smarter company.
Qtel: Well Sir im going t...
ME: Tell me how you would feel, if you pay roughly 80 pounds for a 2mbps internet connection which connects when it feels like it and when it does you get 256kbps.
Every time you call for help they tell you to go and by new one. Ive had seven techinician come to my house and each time i end up showing them how to arrange the installation because they dont even know technicall terms. For God sake im on a first name basis with some of you. Like Yousef.
Qtel: Well yes I saw your file, if you would like to make a complaint I will connect you to.
Me: If you fully read my file you will see that i have three already. Ill get a donkey and ride it to qtel head office, and give it your MD as present because im sure he will get better and faster reception from it than his Mobile. I do have a suggestion though, Go and .....
qtel: (background noise)
Qtel: (HANGS UP)
ME: F**k Yourself
I FOUND OUT WHAT WAS THE PROBLEM WAS, The PHONE SOCKET WAS INTSTALLED CRAPPILY AFTER I TOOK IT APART.
Osman Yissah said
Not all QTEL are Bad. ...I Had to take the socket apart, and found out that the qtel guy didnt fasten the wire elements tight enough, and got loose overtime, after i re fastened it came i got line sync
and was online.
I felt bad, but then I remembered the time they decided to change everyones username to some telephone number and a letter S, and told nobody. leaving people in suspense.
Some times i wonder if it would be easier, to be a dog, u wanna say hello, just sniff their a*s. Ive never seen a dog unsatified with another dogs a*shole before.
There you go 100% consumer satisfaction.
Why dont they externally assess that!
Maybe qtel should try that before moving onto national telecom.
