Getting used to Internet Restrictions - Skype and websites..
Hi,
I have been reading here and there is ONE aspect that should perhaps be addressed. It is the fact that Qatar has internet censorship. They also block applications like skype. This will Unblock Skype in Qatar
Many of you are wanting to move here but dont know yet about this little yet significant restriction it has on many of us.
While i do strongly agree that some sites should be blocked due to content, some are blocked for all the wrong reasons. We are simoply not used to it coming from Europe and USA
Being in the privacy of your new home in Doha or elsewhere in Qatar you are bound to miss home family and friends. You will NOT be able to place a cheap skype call to loved ones as you had hoped and that will frustrate you, even more so the fact that international call rates will piss you off even more.
The site Vpn Accounts might get blocked but you can always reach them by email support @ vpnaccounts . com for more information on how to sign up and use the service. You dont need access to the site once you have an account anyway :)
As stated ealier, this is an issue that should have been addressed earlier and i hope it would benefit all who are planing a visit or moving to Qatar!
stop posting such info without authentication,otherwise you will be blocked...he he he...
Ah, me a fool.... I did not!!!
Kindly furnish me copy of "hotspot shield" software, the website that you've share was also been blocked, through my email address; [email protected]
Thanks a lot.
did you look at the date of the thread?
Stop posting complete and utter sh*t. Its hard enough for people to move out here without you giving wrong info about being able to contact "home". You CAN use Skype here, everyday if you wish and calls are cheap from Skype, well they are for calling UK. So peeps, please do not take any notice!!

here's how you can unblock websites...
go to www.anchorfree.com and download the free "hotspot shield" software-its free!!! install then run it & you'll be able to bypass qatar's internet restrictions. there's a catch though... you'll be greeted with ads before the website you're trying to access opens but you can always click the "skip" button. if you can't get the software (maybe blocked by now) post your email & i'll send you the software file.
Skype is not blocked....
In fact I'm using Skype right now, IN Qatar, as I write this...
Also the websites that are blocked are usually porn...
I agree with Jauntie, this looks like an advertisement.
I hate false ads.
SKYPE IS NOT BLOCKED PEOPLE.

but this thread DOES look like a good advertisement for Vpn Accounts ;D
I'm not aware skype is blocked either!I know loads of people here that use it!
I don't know where you got your information, but I use Skype almost every day to be in touch with family and friends around the world. It works like a charm. On the very rare occasion, if there is not enough bandwith, it's slow, but if you get a high speed internet connection, it's perfect most of the time.
who said skype is blocked?
