Qatar Telecom (Qtel), the leading telecom service provider in Qatar, is stepping up the delivery of microSIM cards at its concept stores across the country.

MicroSIMs, which are about half the size of current SIM cards, have grown in popularity around the world in recent months, particularly given their compatibility with the next generation of mobile phones and the hugely popular tablet computer, the iPad.

SIM cards contain all the information required to identify a customer on any mobile device, and are increasingly a core part of many people's electronic identity.

Qtel will offer customers the choice between microSIMs and standard SIMs at no additional cost, the company said in a statement.

The first batch of cards will be made available for Qtel's Shahry mobile broadband customers, to support customers who wish to purchase and use the iPad in Qatar, it said.

For customers who wish to purchase microSIMs to use in their iPhone or similar SmartPhone models, the microSIMs will be available for purchase as a standard SIM with any new mobile account, or purchased as a replacement for QR50 ($13.73), according tot he statement.
