Skype in Dubai

I didnt know where to post this problem so I have put it here.
I am accessing the internet through a proxy server as lots of sites in Dubai are blocked.
I entered the settings into Firefox so I can access the internet, all sites are now unblocked.
Can I get my skype account to use the same proxy settings?
I tried to enter them into the system preferences/network/airport/advanced/proxies
but it doesn't have an option for SSL proxy?
Does anyone have any idea what I can do?
Please help

Contact the author of Skype and ask them to include this.
SSL proxies are to avoid security holes building on the network. Obviously the places you are using require these security enhancements to be able to network anywhere.
You could see if you can get internet service to your home that has high speed and no proxy limitations.

  • Using iChat from Dubai

    I'm a new Mac user, and I'm trying to get into the Apple way of doing things!
    One of the hurdles that I need to overcome is with iChat; I've been trying to get onto iChat from Dubai without success. I'm connecting to the internet via Etisalat's broadband home service (wireless), but cannot get connected (time-out; message says "Could not connect to AIM. The connection could not be completed because it timed out. Try again."
    Is this service blocked by Etisalat as is the case with Skype? Also, what is the relevance of AIM? Is this a different route to the iChat environment, or is AIM another way of saying connect via the .mac membership account?
    Any help would be much appreciated.....
    iMac 24"   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    Hi
    First try this log on to AIM on port 443 rather than port 5190.
    Go to IChat > Preferences > Accounts.
    Log out of AIM and then use the Server Settings tab
    Set the port to 443.
    Log back in again.

  • Calls in Dubai

    I am planning to make a purchase for credits for me to call Dubai landlines and mobile numbers but I am not sure if it is going to work properly, I don't want to spend for credits that I won't be able to use. I want to know since I have read that VOIP is being banned in UAE,, has skype have the capabilities to call Dubai landline and mobile numbers?

    scottxx,
    That was very nice of you to provide your friend with a new phone! I am sorry to say that the device will not be able to activate while in Dubai. For a device to activate it must connect to the VZW network to become active. I apologize for any inconvenience.

  • Is skype putting in measures to decrease the amoun...

    I am not sure if this situation is applicable for other skype users but Skype has slowly grow into a previous MSN where on a daily basis, one or two accounts will try to add you and these accounts can largely be categorize into two sections:
    1. Hi, I am a manager of the Dubai XXX Bank and this guy who have billions died and he wants you to have the money. He want me to keep this off books and i am contacting you now, please contact me via [e-mail removed for privacy and security]
    2. Hi, I am a nurse and I am lonely, you wanna see me naked?
    Regardless of sections, I am very tired of these scammers and I am wondering if Microsoft/Skype has any plans to reduce these account if not eradicate. In other words, what's the procedure in place for scam protection.
    If you tell me there are procedures in place, obviously these are not effective as I am still receiving average 2 accounts daily and I advise you to revise this. If you tell me that there are no procedures, then I'll suggest you look in this as I do not want to see a beautiful service like skype ended up like Windows Live Messenger (Deceased).
    Thank you.

    Hello;
    I don't know exactly what you mean by down counter, but if you want to implement a sort of frequency divisor, you can refer to the "Generate Pulse Train on Freq_Out.vi" Labview shipping example. That VI will divide the chosen timeBase frequency and output the result pulse train at the FREQ_OUT pin.
    You can also refer to the Pulse Train Generator.vi if you want to use the counter output pin.
    Hope this helps.

  • I bought iphone4 from Dubai, but live in India. How can I activate FACETIME without Jailbreaking it ?

    I bought iphone4 from Dubai, but live in India. How can I activate FACETIME without Jailbreaking it ?

    I'm only guessing here since I don't use Facetime myself but I think it depends on the model number of the phone. iPhones sold by UAE operators have unique model numbers and these do not get the Facetime app installed at all. Even in India, if you update or do a clean reinstall, you still the UAE-branded OS.
    Facetime is blocked because the voice and video goes over WiFi and this eats into the profits of the mobile operators. Most countries here in the Middle East block video and voice chatting over the Internet - not due to censorship - but because the government-owned operators here enjoy monopolies and want all video and voice to go over their networks for maximum revenue. I live in Oman where for example Skype is blocked simply because it is seen as a competitor to the government landline operator.

  • Hello I am from Turkey. I have an iPhone 6 from Dubai. But it has not face time do you have any idea about it ?

    Hello I am from Turkey. I have an iPhone 6 from Dubai. But it has not face time do you have any idea about it ?

    You cannot use FaceTime on that iPhone. Use Skype or similar program, or
    sell that iPhone and buy one in Turkey.

  • I am purchace ipad 2 3g from dubai but facetime not installed

    i am purchase ipad 2 3g from dubai but accidently i update ipad2 in itune for ios 4.3.5
    after installed face time not installed

    It can't be unblocked, it is blocked by the serial number. If you want to do FaceTime type calls then, if it's available in your country, you could download the Skype For iPad app from the app store.

  • Skype call to mobile is connected to mobile's voic...

    When I call my wife's AT&T Nokia 6350 from my Windows 7 PC, the call is connected to her voice mailbox instead of her phone's voice mail.  A call to my exact same model cell phone is connected to my phone's voice mail correctly.  The PC is running Skype 5.3.0.116.
    This anomaly only occurs when I dial from my PC, or FREETALK using Skype.  If I call her phone from our landline using FREETALK with the # prefix, to force a landline call, or if I call from our landline with FREETALK disconnected, or from my cell phone, then the call is correctly connected to her phone's voice mail. 
    These symptoms seem to point to some anomoly in the Skype dialing.  If the Skype experts believe that this may be an AT&T problem then please provide the exact dialing sequence, as that will probably be the first information that AT&T will ask for.
    Thanks.

  • How to get Facetime on iPod touch 4 (Dubai Model)

    My iPod Touch doesnt have facetime icon(app) as it was bought in Dubai where facetime was banned. I have updated, restored, but cant get facetime back (I am  am using in India where there is no BAN)
    So is there anyway of getting FACETIME ,i know there is Tango, Skype, Fringe, free apps which are absolutely amazing, but what about Facetime?

    If you bought your device in a country that does not support FaceTime, you can't add it back by restoring. The ipod will be identified during the restore process and the installation of this app will be blocked.

  • Scammer: Mr. Andrew Mortimer Barclays Bank of Dubai Email: [e-mail removed for privacy and security]

    [7/17/2015 4:37:12 PM] *** Andrew Mortimer would like to add you on Skype
    Hello Eric...how are you doing? I'm contacting you from Baclay bank in Dubai regarding to one Mr.Weimin Eric whose money was deposited in my bank presently in Dubai in 2004 and by then i was district assitant director but now elected as the new branch bank manager.why am contacting you is because Mr.Weimin Eric died due to an aircrash incident in 2006 and the amount he deposited was about $26,700,000.00 million deposited in my bank so am contacting you because you bear thesame surname with him and i want us to work together as a partner to clam his fund in our own favour and since you're bearing the same usrname with the late depositor If you concur with this proposal, I intend for you to retain 50% of the funds while 50% shall be for me. Kindly forward your response to me immediately through email below:
    xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

    I get the same from him. Dear xxxxxxxxIt’s my urgent need For a foreign partner that made me to contact you for this transaction. I am Andrew Mortimer working with Barclays Bank here in Dubai(U.A.E) I write to contact you over a very important business transaction which will be of our interest and benefit to our both families.In 2007,one Mr. Weimin xxxxxxxx whose surname is same as yours and has your country in his file as his place of origin, made a fixed deposit for 36 months, valued at $26,700,000.00 with my bank. I was his account officer before I rose to the position of Managing Director. The maturity date for this deposit contract was 27th of September 2010.Sadly, Mr.Weimin was among the death victims in the September 2009 earthquake in Indonesia that left over 1,200 people dead while he was there on business trip.Since the last quarter of 2010 until today, the management of my bank have been finding means to reach him so as ascertain if he will roll over the Deposit or have the contract sum withdrawn. When I discovered that this will happen, I have tried to think up a procedure to preserve this fund and use the proceeds for business.Some directors here have been trying to find out from me the information about this account and the owner, but I have kept it closed because, I know that if they become aware that Mr Weimin is late, they will corner the funds for themselves. Therefore, am seeking your co-operation to present you as the one to benefit from his fund at his death since you have the same name, so that my bank head quarters will pay the funds to you. I have done enough inside bank arrangement and you only have to put in your details into the information network in the bank computers and reflect you as his next of kin.If you concur with this proposal, I intend for you to retain 50% of the funds while 50% shall be for me. Kindly forward your response to me immediately through my email below for more details:Email: [e-mail removed for privacy and security]

  • My call from Skype to landline phones are being blocked

    I live overseas and the easiest way to make calls to the US is by using Skype. Recently, however, my Skype calls are being blocked as unsolicited calls by landlines. Of course, the instructions given by the recorded message, do not work (*82 followed by the number). How can I start getting my calls to go through to those who block unsolicited calls? -M

    I am facing the same problem...When dialing from Windows PC, there is not even a ringing tone. But from Android phones, it gives rining tone only for me and the receiving side actually doesn't receive call itself. I am living in Dubai..Please suggest a soultion for us.
