Anyone knows what happened and what I need to do to get it back to work?
What happened was Etisalat blocked it.

What you need to do is not mention work-arounds here as Etisalat reads this site and blocks sites mentioned!

SK----E is my primary method for not only communicating to family in UK and USA, but also for business.

I'm not in UAE, but quite close (!) and I have mostly great performance from it. I've found that it works for me in AUH and DXB, probably because of some other software that I have installed for another purpose (internet performance).

Can't guarantee that it allows access to the company's homepage (for making payments etc) but I never have problems with "blocked sites" where I live. It's something that was once offered as an "add-on" by Freeserve in UK, and I have been enhancing my speeds with it since then. (it's damned good at that too!)

It's not something that is sold in this part of the world,but I can pass a contact for the manufacturer to anyone who PMs me.

Costs $50 a year (or $5 a month), worth it just for the performance enhancement!

Intrusion
 
Changing the subject slightly. I have had several intrusion attemps and attacks on port 80 from IP address 87.201.183.96 in the last few days. DIC who are my ISP cannot ( wiill not ) shed any light on this. Has anyone else in U.A.E. ?

87 is a local IP is it Big Brother having a gander or something equally sinister.

skype
 
For those who consider buying izone... It blocks skype just as much as Eticrp does. :suspect: However --when it works-- most blocked sites can be accessed. :D
If anyone knows a good alternative to get skype working, please pm me.

msngr
 
It seems that the guys at eticrap got their grip on msngr. :yuk:
anyone experiencing the same problem?

ExSimGuy 20th March 2007 17:37

Several people have contacted me about the matter that I posted recently.I have passed on the details to them. Not had any feedback on the results, either with Skype or with general performance.

I'd appreciate a PM from anyone in UAE to confirm that it's good, and I'll pass on the "contact" details for the system to anyone who PMs me.:ok:

5star I ZONE Did not work for me set up ok but message unable to logg into server.

ExSimGuy Have not yet tried what you recommended as it sounds much like izone

omantel has managed to block my tunnel program from Holland. Could anyone PM me with info to beat the censorship here in this stone-age backwater?

Desert Nomad 28th March 2007 05:46

Anyone experiencing the folowing problem:

Little green tick is on, you dial the number, then the connection goes to "trying to connect" and no connection is made. Have just downloaded the latest version thinking this might help get around this but that doesn't work.

what seems to be the most effective way of overcoming our friends Etislut? please PM with what you think.

Cheers

Eddie_699 1st April 2007 01:05

To all those who are posting their solutions here and how to make S*K*E work again ?

Just a question . WHY we dont post all our solutions in one page and then ask ETI-SALAD to come and block them all.

Please Lads nothing to mention here at all.

Cheers

Skype Skype Skype
 
Now I have Etisasalats attention:

They have a new way of ripping you off, the service on the pre paid service, permits you to transfer funds between cards.

The last five times I have tried this four of them have been taken from my card credits, but never received on the other card, even when both phones switched on, and sitting next to each other.

Perhaps I shouild phone the customer service number on Skype, and try to resolve the problem....I have tried using my mobile but never getting put thru to a person who wishes to discuss the situation.

I also notice skype and all other messenger services seem to be blocked again.

Anyone else reporting the same.

:(

Gulfstreamaviator 21st April 2007 03:46

pay as you go funds transfer
 
Tried last night to transfer more funds between mobile.

No transfer, but funds taken........

Eventually spoke to the lack of service department technical division. Response: the server is being replaced,so allow 24 hours for any funds to be received.......

I assume that they do not bother to tell the valued customers, that the service is down, but just prepared to take the money, and hide.

Used to be called fraud, or even theft, but then I am only passing thru....
