“Internet” is arguably the most common APN string used by operators worldwide, which is exactly why Ooredoo Qatar rarely requires manual setup — if your phone has ever connected to data on a different carrier before, it likely already has a compatible entry saved.
Quick answer
APN: internet — leave username and password blank.
Manual setup, if needed
Android: Settings → Mobile Networks → APN → add “Ooredoo Internet” with APN “internet” → save, select, restart.
iPhone: Settings → Cellular → Cellular Data Network → APN “internet” → restart.
Same brand, same setting
If you also carry an Ooredoo Oman or Ooredoo Kuwait SIM, this APN is identical — nothing to relearn moving between them.
