Just to clarify for all of you. Skype Website has been blocked for ages and so a lot of us have been using a proxy to get access to that and all those other websites out there. To run Skype other than the initial program download and crediting account, we don't need the website. What has happened recently is Etisilat has somehow blocked the running of the program for some of us. I try and ring a phone number with it and it goes to call and then stalls and says there is an internal error. This happened to call serve about 6 months ago, and they had a 23 k patch within a week to work around it. Heres hoping skype do the same, as I think they make some good money out of us sand pit dwellers. In the mean time I will continue to use callserve until they block that again I guess.
