Could be Brian..
The poor lad probably found out that Vice President life on the concierge floor is a wee bit more expensive than he thought it would be, especially with his multiple personality issues, probably spending for Mr. Tartan as well.. So he's just looking to earn some dollaros on the side...
What would be the cost of psychiatric help in DXB?? Must be difficult!!

apologies
Well you are under the impression that the service I received is a VPN? When in fact this is nothing of the sort. It is a telecommunications company in Media City that provides you with calls around the world using their international program. So yeah I do think I got the better end of the deal when I no longer have to pay Estisalat another dime.

Confused
Hi there!
Would someone be so kind to tell me if there is a version of Sk... that is still working for the people who are under Dubai Internet City internet contract?
Thanks a lot

The greed of these people is staggering... Needing a very large ex-pat workforce to keep the place going because the work is either to menial or too technologically advanced for the locals they then feel the need to rip-off people who try to keep in touch on a personal level with families thousands of miles away.... a Phillipino house servant who gets to return home only every 2 years or so can no longer speak to their family without lining the coffers of a bunch of indolent leeches...

Started working a week or so ago in our compound.
An Eid gift from Etislut maybe?
If you can't log-on, make sure all the settings are back to how they were originally. Ports, proxy's etc - that should fix it.
Happy talking for as long as it will last.

Status Quo
After being away from DXB for a few weeks & fully enjoying Skype without any workarounds, I came back to find that Skype functionality where I live (non-freehold residential near Beach Road) is still - at best - as bad as it was 3-4 weeks ago. The new Skype version still does not resolve the particular issue of "breaking the siege". I'm out of ideas for now, except for leaving this place for good sometime soon...

Thanks and am not staying in a hotel this time around. Staying in some crew condo's and not sure what area they are in at this time. At least we will be out flying around the world from there and can get online to talk while away from DXB.
Appreciate the feedback.

not working
I'm not sure what some of the others mean when they say skype is working. I highly doubt it. The ban seems pretty solid across the UAE. A few of the solutions suggested by others have worked, albeit briefly, until traffic became too great and the proxy was shut down.
Perhaps there are a few trolls who want to get people's hopes up artifically. Not sure why anyone would want this...
Probably the easiest (only?) way to connect is through a proxy somewhere, but finding reliable ones is hard. If you have a friend abroad who is willing to let you tunnel through his/her computer, that could work, if you can figure out how to set it up.

Thanx to my freind's effort @Kensington - who allows me to route through his PC downtown London! Run's like always!
