A household running one Vodafone Qatar line shared between family members, or a small business phone passed between staff — call barring gives you a way to set spending limits at the network level rather than relying on everyone’s self-discipline.
Quick answer
| Bar | Code |
|---|---|
| All outgoing | *33*PIN# |
| Outgoing international | *331*PIN# |
| All incoming | *35*PIN# |
| Remove all | #330*PIN# |
The shared-line case
*331*PIN# blocks outgoing international calls specifically — the highest-cost category — while local and Qatar-to-Qatar calls keep working for whoever’s using the line that day. It’s a one-time setup rather than a recurring conversation about the bill.
Own the PIN
The factory PIN is 0000 on every Vodafone Qatar line — call 111 to set a personal one, since the default offers no real protection to whoever knows to try it.
Need to redirect calls instead? Vodafone Qatar doesn’t currently have a dedicated forwarding guide here, but Vodafone Qatar call waiting covers the related feature.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the default barring PIN?
0000 unless changed. Call 111 to set your own.
Is call barring free?
Yes, setting and clearing bars is free. It's independent of any forwarding you've set up.
I'm locked out of making calls — how do I undo it?
Dial #330*PIN# to clear every bar, then check with *#33#. Call 111 if the PIN is rejected.
Can I block only international calls?
Yes — *331*PIN# leaves local and national dialling fully working.
Are the codes the same as Ooredoo Qatar?
Yes, identical — barring is a GSM standard rather than a Vodafone-specific feature.
