VoIP
Posted by Jack at 18:46 UAE time
You can still set up web connect like calls using products like AIM Call Out. It calls one phone then connects it to the other. So that you are not using the typical PC to phone set up. Its a novel way at getting low rates. Plus the quality is pretty good!

TRA nonsense
Posted by Clay at 09:53 UAE time
TRA blocked all voip services since 2004 and its taking them 5 years to come up with a "framework" and licensing procedures? How bold they are to come up with an unbelievable reason like this! I say WHATEVER!! I will continue to use voIP through other means!

Skype for the masses
Posted by Graham Plater at 18:44 UAE time
Come on, Andy - the "hard working people" you mean are not very high on the UAE agenda. They're treated as disposable and not as a valuable "human resource" deserving appreciation or, dare I say it, respect. The first time I saw Wafi, visions of ancient Egypt sprang to mind - and history repeats itself whichever building site I see...

What a feeble excuse, nonsense, laughable...when are they going to stop lying about this? They just should tell us "we won't do anything about it, we area a monopoly and we want all your money and we want higher profits while we can so live with is! I'd rather prefer them to be straight bullies than acting like idiots, they are not fool they know very well what they are doing, that is typical of a mafia and they get away with is...sorry for them (Salik, Etisalat, RTA...JUST GANGSTER) not for the real benefit of this country and its real hard working people.

Skype access
Posted by Wilhelm Niederhauser at 10:17 UAE time
What a cheap excuse "We are protecting customers, and some of those companies provide very bad voice quality". Skype is used globally, and noone has complained of being cheated by Skype. If the voice quality is bad, the decision to avail of their service should be up the user and not to TRA.
The real reason: The telecom companies want to maintain their billion profits.

Customers need to be protected from... Skype?
Posted by Graham Plater at 17:43 UAE time
What a load of nonsense. According to TRA, VoIP operators need to be licensed to safeguard the public! Hey, what customers truly need is protection from the pervasive greed of the authorities manifested through telecom monopolies, Salik, visa fees and a myriad of other more or less well-concealed taxes in the form of "charges", "fees" and the like. When will the bubble burst?

Skype takes USD 10 - 25 per time and until u exhaust it - there is no requirement to refill. Why would people go running to TRA complaining of a lost USD 25 in the worst case scenario?
Seems like it will be a long time till we see the Skype!!
