Hello,

Slowly, over the years Qatari officialdom has seen fit to ban nearly all VOIP providers, from Net2phone to Phoneserve. Nevertheless, Skype still works, both the free service and the credit version.

If you want the latest version [1.4.0.84], search and download it load via a BitTorrent site.

I have tried to buy credit over the Internet whilst in Doha, using a locally issued credit card and it does not work. However, it will work if you have somebody outside Qatar buy the credit using the same card.

I spoke with somebody in Singapore the other day for an hour and forty minutes, the cost was only €2.42 or QR10.30.

Regrads,
