Default Skype in Dubai?

Any of you folks use Skype? Can you use Skype-Out without being blocked by the government-run internet providers?

I know iChat AV is fine, cause I have used it from there... thanks for any advice you can offer.

I can use skype no problem in Qatar. If u go to expatwoman.com middle east section and search for skype, u will find some posts mentioning abt skype. As far as i remember u can use skype in the UAE. But i won't be surprise they might block the skype out in the future.

Thanks all!

I searched for Skype, and nobody distinguished between computer->computer and computer->phone. It's the later option I am most fond of.

I just wanted to check. It would be a real drag if they blocked it!
