Our valued customer submitted experience below:

I have just returned from Oman after having spent my gap year there. In short, it was calm and welcoming with great places to visit. Muscat was terrific and the scuba diving was excellent. As a tourist for 1 or 2 weeks Oman would make the ideal destination but anything longer than this and the downside becomes visible.

Oman is a small country and so there is only a small community of expatriates. Keeping in touch with family and friends back home was paramount but complicated. As it turned out Skype in Oman does not work.

What a bombshell that was!

Luckily the internet was still functional and following numerous exchanges with a friend who was visiting Dubai in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), I came to find that Oman was not the only country that blocked the Skype.com website and SkpeOut calls. Other countries that block Skype include the UAE, Iran, Belize, and Ethiopia.

Just visualising how hard it must be for expats and foreign businesses to function in these great yet restrictive countries and the prospect of no longer being able to make cheap international calls using Skype lead me to research ways to unblock Skype and bypass these restrictions.

Fortunately it wasn’t too long before I found the solution. The Skype restrictions applied in Oman, Belize, Ethiopia, Iran and the UAE (to name a few) can easily be bypassed through the use of a Virtual Private Network (VPN) to unblock Skype.

The Skype VPN allows you to make VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) calls from any internet connection and the VPN for Skype can be used on the iphone, ipad, itouch as well as all Windows and Macs.

By connecting to a VPN server, the Skype application will bypass the restrictions imposed by the Internet Service Provider (ISP) and the SkypeOut calls will become unrecognisable to the ISP which in turn means the Skype calls cannot be blocked or monitored in any way.

How convenient!

If it wasn’t for my Skype VPN I am not sure I would have stayed as long as I did in Oman. Maybe a trip to Belize is next.
