Has anyone in the ME tried the new Skype phones?
Like this one: http://cgi.ebay.com/G-TRANS-AA2610-S...QQcmdZViewItem
Was thinking of buying one to try and did not know if they work worldwide.
Could not live without Skype when out flying but after Ebay bought them last year just hope that they do not start screwing with them the way that they did after they purchased Pay Pal.
Good luck working around ports and such. Just remember that we are smarter than they are.

Hiya Lads
Been trying to sign in and still the same S
....
I had few problems with msn messenger, I Hope its just msn thingy and not EATSLUT.
The two reasons why I think why they blocked SKYPE ... FIRST is to make more money out of you there... there you go International calls, local calls and E-Vision all you are paying is to one company and which is owned by the Goverment..... SECOND... to allow them to monitor all the phone calls abroad without the need for a warrant. (Why do they need a warrant... they can do what ever they want to do)....
I've been thinking seriously to leave UAE. Its seems its just getting worse...

I have been using megaproxy to browse the internet, so when I go to internet explorer, I have to log in on a special website, and the I can browse. Does anyone here know how I can get skype to use those settings when it connects to the internet, so that I can use it?
Thanks guys, etislut licks balls

what You need is a "Tunelling" software-solution, such as "JAP" -
Skype won't work with some normal "anonymizer" solution, as these programs just mask your own and the selected IP-addresses - of those pages you want to access -
however they don't mask that Skype generated traffic, which can obviously be still detected, and consecutively blocked by those Etisluts "Snipers" and "Guardians" (used to be angels - right?) ... at least, that's what they thought-
as there's a smart solution to unblock Your Skype again:

that works just fine again in Dubai outsmarting Etisluts blocking attempt-
however rendered slightly slower (barely noticable) than normal, but basically running okay now!
You have to get You the latest "Developer-Version 05.337" - which brings up your Skype again to reasonable speed ...
there's one glitch though...
Antivirus-Packages like Norton Anti-Virus detect those JAP-tunneled traffic correctly as "a possibly harmful worm" (which it is in deed, a worm, not harmful) and issue a warning, and consecutively tries to block that tunneled Skype traffic;
therefore You must either shut down Your Norton-AV whilst using it - or explicitically allow thatJAP-program in the Anti-Virus settings, which works fine with Norton now - again after some fiddling;
it's probably all together 1-2 hours fiddling with the PC - but it's worth it;
had yesterday an hour or so phone call to mates in australia for some merely 60 cents !!
and by the way, you can top up your Skype credits via your normal browser as well (you need to set Your http-üroxy to 127.0.0.1 and the port to 4001 to communicate masked), as JAP is also masking the browser traffic, therefore You can reach the "normal" Skype websites - and others as weel ...

Can I just ask if anyone who has a problem with skype has downloaded and been sucessful with callserve. I believe a least 2 budies are running callserve fine and can't get skype up, c'est voila. I believe that they email the odd patch to continue to avoid the proxy settings problems that arise. If any of those suffering the skype blockage do get callserve up then theres your answer to all your problems stated here.

Still Struggling with Skype
Hi all,
I have just spent several hours researching ways of avoiding the block recently put on Skype by Etisalat, and came accross you guys who really seem as though you have found a way. I have tried various options already (installing privoxy, using another proxy server etc,) but all to no avail.
I couldn't find a site where I could download JAP (which Etisalat hadn't already blocked!
)
If anyone of you has the patience to drop me an email with suggestions - or, of course, post them here for all to see and follow - then I would be eternally grateful!!
Thanks,
-- a 'cut-off-from-home' desperate guy --

For those that are using Jap, please tell us what version you are using, is it the free version from Jap?
Is it just a question of activating Jap plus the browser? Do you also have to change the proxy in the Skype phone?

Another "Tunelling" software-solution"
You can get the free trial of the following program by sending a e mail to [email protected] and putting the word FREE in the subject line. You should then receive the exe file. Make sure your email can handle the incoming attachment. Install and configure the file you receive, instructions provided in the download.
it may help??
