I live in Dubai. I am unable to use Yahoo Messenger with Voice to call phones outside UAE. Is there a problem?
Till about a month ago, Yahoo Messenger voice calls from Dubai (where I live and work) to phones in India / USA were working fine. I even kept adding enough credit to my account. All of a sudden (over the past two weeks) I keep getting the message ”Connecting to Voice Service” that appears almost endlessly initially to be followed by a message that goes ”Yahoo is unable to connect to the voice service. You may be behind a firewall. Please try later”. I know for a fact that I am not behind any firewalls. I am aware that Etisalat (the local internet gateway provider) used to block Skype. Yahoo Messenger calls were however going through. Not sure if this has also been blocked now. If anyone else if facing a similar problem please let me know if there is a solution and also if there is any other PC to phone service that presently works out of Dubai.
