Actually it's really weird. At the office we can't use either Skype or Netmeeting... Dunno what's causing this.

it's really strange, you can connect and it shows your contacts are online but try making a call or sending a message and you can't connect, yet from the office today using the proxy it worked.

try Yahoo messenger with a proxy & the call option works.

Skype works in my office, but then they blocked VOIP On our subnet. Before VOIP Worked ( on all ports ).. they blocked it.

i am afraid they will discover skype & hook it up too

PM me if you wish to know what the score is...

anyone able to run skype on mac osx using socks5? managed to run skype for win on winxp emulated on top of parallel for mac using socks5 but the same socks setting on mac net preferrence did not produce the same result. any hint. pm me if info too hot.

My Dad heard from an ex work collegue that Skype was the way to go, and seeing as my Dad still does frequent business with this collegue then Skype is almost invaluable to them. So when it came to him downloading Skype....the good ol' Etisalat blocked message came up.

We found an alternative option is www.google.com/talk

Works fine and quality is perfect. Saying that, I haven't spoken to him on it for about 3 weeks.....

Try these.
This works as of today.
http://www.nettelephone.biz/ or the alternate site http://www.callfromuae.com/ .
Etisalat has blocked the original site ( http://www.nettelephone.com/ ), and so these guys have opened up these two new sites

Don't know what Etisalat is waiting for before blocking these too.

1) they do not know about these two alternate sites.

2) They do not have a system to monitor VoIP.
They probably jus read forums like these and
keep on blocking one by one, as and when
they come to know

3) These two alternate sites are not
"inconsistent with the religious, cultural,
political and moral values of the United Arab Emirates". !

4) Etisalat has a share in this company !
While the Telecom Regulatory Authority (TRA)
keeps blocking VoIP,
and all DU customers get scr$wed,
this software will continue to work only with Etisalat networks
and NOT with DU connections !!!

Once it is established that no software (Skype, etc etc)
other than nettelephone works in UAE,
nettelephone (with 90% share holdings by Eti)
will increase the charges by 500%,

Eitsalat !!.


Any other reason, can you all think of?

Anyways, it works.

Finally some good news..............UAE to lift VoIP ban

Hello,

I am introducing you a new VOIP Phone, namely PC2Phone.

The following are the features of this Phone.

· Excellent Voice Clarity, just like ordinary phone , without any delay, break & echo in the conversation.

· Seconds billing (6/30 billing)...Means , Your calls will be charged in

multiples of 6 Seconds .For example, If your call lasts for only 6 sec, you will be charged only for 6 sec, not for 1 minute , unlike all other PC to phone Services. Similarly, if your call lasts for 2 minutes & 20 seconds, you will be charged for 2 minutes & 24 seconds only, not for 3 minutes, unlike other PC to Phone services.

· Resistant to blocking by ISPs like Etisalat , since it uses VOIP Tunneling by creating a VPN.


Further the rates to India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Philippines etc, are very low.

In other words, the cash you paid for this PC2Phone Card will be worth returning.

If you would like to buy in wholesale, or want to become a reseller, Please reply to muneerkm@gmail.com with details such as How many cards you can buy per day, Commission % and preferably with mobile number.

We can provide cards at attractive reduced rates.
We can give test accounts also to check the Voice clarity.


If you would like to buy in retail, you can either send email to muneerkm@gmail.com

BE CLOSER WITH YOUR FRIENDS & RELATIVES THROUGH PC2PHONE!!!


PAY LESS & TALK MORE!!!

i believe you are another sick voip illegitimate reseller

Hello,

After travelling in Dubai (UAE) and in China, I found a software that unblock Skype and censored contents in some countries.

I know Skype is blocked or there is censor in the following countries : Belize, China, Columbia, Cuba, Jordan, UAE ...

After searching internet, I found a way to make calls and to access censored content in those countries using a VPN (Virtual Private Network).

How does it works ?

A VPN encrypte the data you send on internet to a US IP adress (tunnel). This way your Internet Services Provider can't detect you are using Skype or another VoIP software ! It allow you access to censored content and geographical locked contents (i.e: listening radio on pandora.com , watching TV streams for US residents, ...).

There is a lot of VPN softwares, the first I tried was VPNaccounts. I didn't like it because it took a lot of time for activation, it was expensive and helpdesk support was very slow.

A friend of mine who lives in Belize told me about another VPN software called Witopia personnalVPN.

Now I am using Witopia personnalVPN. It is easier to use (you just have to launch the software before launching Skype), faster and cheaper than all other VPN softwares I tried.

It costs 39.99$ and works perfectly.

You can download it from the editor's website : Witopia personnalVPN

Works on Windows and Mac.

I hope this post will help people who are in those countries and reducing censorship !
