| hi Folks, I read a lot that Etisalat blocks Skype to Phone connections but I didn't really find about Skype to Skype connections. So can I talk from Skype to Skype? Thanks! |

| Etisalat have blocked all the VoIP internet sites, so it is not possible to get access or download the software unless you are in CIC or DMC, or you have a route around the proxy. If you have the software already on your PC, then it connects and you are able to talk Skype user to Skype user. :D :D :D Knight |

| And is using skype to skype (or skype to phone) something to be concerned about? This topic seems to indicate yes... http://www.dubaiforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=7121 But this topic would indicate no... http://www.dubaiforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=7087 |

They have blocked the official skype website, but you can still download and use skype. Go here... http://www.softpedia.com/progDownload/Skype--Beta-Download-7034.html |

| One downlaoded, skype will work either to skype or to land/mobile Bypassing proxy can be done through tunneling. Changing proxy ports is unsecure and a lengthy trial and error exercise. |

| Well as you havent been here for much more than 5 minutes Venice i will explain. A while ago a list of portals was posted here, and the following day they were all blocked by Etisalat. This was not a coinsidence. If you want to post something constructive to help others out please do, otherwise it would probably be best to keep your attempt at humour to yourself. |

| I did try to help people out to get skype. The link I posted up top is still active, so whatever. And whats wrong with expressing humor? You do it all the time. :lol: |

| This is a serious problem in a serious forum, and for the protection of other forumers in able to use bypassing proxies was the reason for my post. I dont see any humour there. There is a time and a place for such. |
