Skype works Great in Qatar so far. But it might end, I've heard that Qtel were looking at the Same Software as Etisalat are using to stop VOIP calls

Skype is THE ONLY reasonable way to communicate with people back home out here. If they block it there will be a revolt.

BTW, I strongly recommend buying some skype credit. It costs as much to call someone anywhere int he world using skype as a normal local call (might even be cheaper depending on your plan). Cutting the internet out of the equation anywhere along the line will improve reception greatly.

Yes, you can enjoy using Skype here!

Might as well get a Skype phone from there before moving to Qatar!

Qatar doesn't block Skype. You can use Skype here.

Using it daily with no problems.... they're just hounding the people using it for commercial purposes ( call boxex), so don't worry.
