Maxmo I think you dont really read the news paper.

In yesterday's HEADLINES the Supreme Council for IT has confirmed that it is LEGAL, there are no problems. Only problems are ppl selling the cards, But for skype you can use CC to buy online.

And yes, I use skype and justvoip on my PDA using wifi.

Infact I have setup JustVoip in such a way that whenever there is a Wifi Connection my PDA automatically connects to it and any calls I make from my PDA will go through JustVoip and not Qtel.

Yes dear, you can use skype and is legal. Please refer to the Headlines of 21-July-08. (Gulf news).

I hope you got the answer.

After reading Gulf Times article as per Maxmo's advice, is it worth it? I have been using it from all over the world but now that we are moving to Doha, I doubt we will, the thought of prison for such an offence is somewhat offputting!
