+974 country code: Qatar

Who uses +974

The +974 country code belongs to Qatar, listed on this page as the country for the code. Qatar is officially the State of Qatar and uses the ISO code QA. The people are called Qatari. The code is used for mobile and fixed numbers within Qatar, so anyone calling or messaging a contact there dials or enters +974 before the local number.

Where Qatar is and how numbers look

Qatar sits in Western Asia, within the continent of Asia. Its capital is Doha. Arabic is the language of the country. The currency is the Qatari riyal. Local time follows Asia/Qatar, at UTC+03:00.

An international number in Qatar is written in this form: +974 3312 3456. The +974 prefix replaces any local dialling when the number is reached from outside the country. The same format applies when a number is stored in a contact list for calls or messages from abroad.

Calling and messaging over the internet

A +974 number can be called or messaged over the internet using a data connection, which avoids the cost of a standard international call. This works through a calling or messaging application on a phone, tablet or computer connected to Wi-Fi or mobile data. The person in Qatar receives the call or message on their own device, and the +974 number is entered in the same international form shown above.

Slashtel sends prepaid mobile top-ups to Qatar operators Ooredoo and Vodafone. To add credit for calls, messages or data, top up a Qatar number through the recharge page. Prepaid credit keeps the Qatari number active for incoming calls and messages sent over the internet, and it covers the local data connection the recipient uses to stay reachable.

Qatar keeps one clock setting across the country at UTC+03:00, so a call or message to a +974 number reaches the recipient on Doha time. Check the international example format before saving a contact, and confirm the operator, Ooredoo or Vodafone, when arranging a top-up.
