Good morning ladies!

I was wondering if Skype and/or Whatsapp calls work in Dubai? I have read some reports that they do and others that they are now blocked. The calls on Whatsapp connect up, but can't hear a thing.

Can anyone kindly clarify. Have a good one! Thanks!! :)

If VPN is used then both skype and Watsapp work fine As long as you don’t get caught using a VPN https://www.theregister.co.uk/2016/07/28/vpn_users_in_uae_face_544k_fine/

Thank you ladies! Whatsapp did work even if only for a couple of minutes before dropping completely. Some WiFi connections worked better than others, so maybe where you use it matters too.

PC to PC video calling works on Skype, calls have never worked, unless you use a go around. Whatsapp and other VoiP calls are blocked - always have been.
