Ooredoo International Calls: Packages, Rates, and Codes by Country (2026)

“Ooredoo international call” isn’t one product. Qatar sells fixed monthly packs. Oman and Kuwait price it per destination, no packages at all. If you’re trying to figure out how much it actually costs to call India, the UK, or Sri Lanka on Ooredoo, the answer depends entirely on which country’s Ooredoo you’re on.

This guide breaks it down by market: what Qatar’s packs actually cost per minute, how Oman and Kuwait’s rate lookup tools work, and where ZippCall is a cheaper or simpler backup depending on where you’re calling. If you already have an Ooredoo SIM, the numbers below will tell you whether your current setup is a good deal. If you don’t, they’ll tell you whether it’s worth getting one just for this.

Ooredoo’s international calling models, at a glance

Market	Model	What you get
Qatar	Fixed monthly packs	Set number of minutes to 118 countries, or a cheaper single-country add-on
Oman	Per-destination PAYG	Pick a country, get a peak/off-peak per-minute rate, no packages
Kuwait	Per-destination PAYG	Pick a country, get a per-minute rate, no packages, no peak/off-peak split

Qatar: international packs and single-country add-ons

Ooredoo Qatar sells international calling as a monthly add-on, not a per-minute rate. There are two ways to buy it: a general pack covering 118 countries, or a cheaper add-on for one specific country if you mostly call the same place.

International Packs (source: ooredoo.qa, checked 2026-08-08)

Pack	Minutes	Price/month
International Pack 10	20 mins	QR 10
International Pack 30	100 mins	QR 30
International Pack 50	200 mins	QR 50

These cover 118 countries, including the UK, US, India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, the Philippines, Bangladesh, and most of Europe.

Single-country add-ons (same source)

Country	QR 10 tier	QR 35 tier
India	150 mins	650 mins
Sri Lanka	20 mins	70 mins
Philippines	25 mins	140 mins
Pakistan	25 mins	250 mins
Egypt	20 mins	100 mins
Bangladesh	150 mins	800 mins

Activate any of these through the Ooredoo App:

1. Log in to the Ooredoo App and select “Manage Plan”
2. From the Subscription tab, select “Add-ons”
3. Choose the pack you want to activate
4. Review and accept the terms and conditions
5. Enter the OTP code sent to your phone number

You can pick a one-time 30-day pack or a recurring version that auto-renews monthly.

Neither general packs nor single-country add-ons are obviously the better pick here. If your destination isn’t in the single-country list, the general pack is your only option. If it is, work out which one costs less per minute for how much you actually call, using the table below.

Cost per minute, if you use the whole thing (QR 3.64 = $1)

Product	Per-minute cost
International Pack 10 (20 mins)	$0.14
International Pack 30 (100 mins)	$0.08
International Pack 50 (200 mins)	$0.07
India add-on, QR 10 tier (150 mins)	$0.018
India add-on, QR 35 tier (650 mins)	$0.015

Notice how much cheaper the India add-on is per minute than the general packs. That’s the trade-off with any of these: cheap per-minute rates, but only if you actually use most of the minutes before they expire. If you don’t use them, you’re paying for minutes you never made.

Oman: pay-per-destination, no packages

Ooredoo Oman doesn’t sell fixed packages at all. Instead, you pick a country on their international calls page and it shows you a per-minute rate for that specific destination, split into peak and off-peak.

Off-peak hours run Saturday to Thursday, 6pm to 6am, plus all day Friday. Peak hours are Saturday to Thursday, 6am to 6pm.

Sample rates (OMR, checked against the live tool 2026-08-08; OMR 1 ≈ $2.60)

Destination	Peak	Off-peak
India	OMR 0.199 ($0.52)	OMR 0.099 ($0.26)
UK	OMR 0.219 ($0.57)	OMR 0.099 ($0.26)
Sri Lanka	OMR 0.219 ($0.57)	OMR 0.099 ($0.26)
US	OMR 0.199 ($0.52)	OMR 0.169 ($0.44)

There’s no subscription or discount tier on top of this. It’s a straight PAYG rate that changes depending on the time of day and where you’re calling.

Kuwait: pay-per-destination, no packages, no off-peak split

Ooredoo Kuwait works the same way as Oman: a country-picker rate lookup, no packages. The one difference is Kuwait doesn’t have a peak/off-peak split. It’s a single flat rate per destination.

Sample rates (KD, checked against the live tool 2026-08-12; KD 1 ≈ $3.24)

Destination	Rate
India	KD 0.188 ($0.61)
UK	KD 0.199 ($0.64)
Philippines	KD 0.199 ($0.64)
Egypt	KD 0.21 ($0.68)

A note on Myanmar

If you’re searching for Ooredoo Myanmar international call rates, that’s out of date. Ooredoo exited the Myanmar market in 2024 and no longer operates there. Whatever rates you find referencing “Ooredoo Myanmar” are describing a service that no longer exists under that name.

Other Ooredoo markets

Ooredoo also operates in Palestine and the Maldives, among a few others, but pricing and packages there aren’t covered in detail here. If you’re on Ooredoo in either of those markets, check the international calling section of your local Ooredoo app for current rates.

Ooredoo vs ZippCall: when each one makes sense

If you’re already an Ooredoo customer and you use most of your pack minutes every month, Ooredoo’s own bundle is usually the better deal, especially in Qatar. If your destination isn’t covered, your minutes run out mid-cycle, or you don’t have an Ooredoo SIM at all, a pay-as-you-go option like ZippCall can work out cheaper or simpler.

Full disclosure: I run ZippCall, so weigh that accordingly. Here’s the honest comparison, not a sales pitch:

Oman

Destination	ZippCall	Ooredoo Oman (peak / off-peak)
India	$0.06/min	$0.52 / $0.26
UK	$0.02/min	$0.57 / $0.26
Sri Lanka	$0.38/min	$0.57 / $0.26
US	$0.02/min	$0.52 / $0.44

Sri Lanka is the one exception here. ZippCall’s $0.38/min is actually more expensive than Ooredoo Oman’s off-peak rate of $0.26/min. For India, the UK, and the US, ZippCall is cheaper even against Ooredoo’s discounted off-peak window.

Kuwait

Destination	ZippCall	Ooredoo Kuwait
India	$0.06/min	$0.61/min
UK	$0.02/min	$0.64/min
Philippines	$0.27/min	$0.64/min
Egypt	$0.29/min	$0.68/min

Kuwait has no off-peak discount, so there’s no cheaper window that closes the gap. ZippCall is cheaper across every destination sampled here.

Qatar

Qatar’s own packs are hard to beat on a pure per-minute basis, especially the single-country add-ons ($0.015-$0.018/min for India, if you use the whole bundle). The catch is you’re committing to a monthly cost whether you use the minutes or not, and you need an active Ooredoo Qatar SIM in the first place. ZippCall doesn’t require a SIM or a monthly commitment, and it covers destinations outside Qatar’s 118-country list, which matters if you’re calling somewhere Ooredoo’s pack doesn’t reach.

The bottom line

Ooredoo isn’t a single product, it’s at least three different systems depending on which country you’re on. Qatar’s packs are genuinely cheap per minute if you use most of the bundle and already have the SIM. Oman and Kuwait skip packages entirely and charge a per-destination rate that’s easy to check but rarely the cheapest option on the market.

If you’re already on Ooredoo and you’re a heavy caller to a covered destination, stick with what you’ve got, especially in Qatar. If your destination isn’t covered, you’re an occasional caller, or you don’t want to commit to a SIM at all, it’s worth comparing against a pay-as-you-go option like ZippCall’s country rates before you activate anything.
