Not every reason to bar calls is about cost or security — sometimes it’s just wanting genuine quiet. Ooredoo Qatar’s barring codes work just as well for a few hours of uninterrupted focus as they do for blocking international spend.
Quick answer
| Bar | Code |
|---|---|
| All outgoing | *33*PIN# |
| Outgoing international | *331*PIN# |
| All incoming | *35*PIN# |
| Remove all | #330*PIN# |
Barring vs. just silencing your phone
Putting your phone on silent still lets calls connect and go to voicemail; *35*PIN# stops them from connecting at all, at the network level. The distinction matters if you want callers to know immediately you’re unreachable rather than leaving a message that sits unanswered for hours.
Removing it afterward
#330*PIN# lifts every bar in one step whenever you’re ready to be reachable again — no waiting period, no need to remember which specific bar you applied.
