So, last week a global update to Whataspp meant that we could *finally* use the video and audio call functions on the app. And despite the fact that the TRA released a statement saying, “There is no change in the UAE’s Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) Policy,” the calls have not been blocked… yet.
But, it now seems that over the Eid long weekend, Skype calls have been.Â

If Skype does become blocked in the UAE I'll be booking the first flight back to Manchester, cause that is my absolute life line
