VoIP to be available in UAE
 

So... does this mean Skype etc will be unblocked, or does this mean that the TRA / Etisalat / Du posse have come up with their own branded version that will be available through them for a charge?

The Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (TRA) is planning to announce a new policy to make international internet calls via Voice over IP (VoIP) services legally available in the UAE, reports Khaleej Times.

“The TRA is in the process of implementing a new VoIP policy. It is expected that this policy will be published soon, and will be made available on the TRA website. Pursuant to this new policy, customers may obtain VoIP services only through the licensees, Etisalat and du. The exception to this will be certain prescribed uses, which deal with educational and public interest purposes,” the TRA told the paper.

International VoIP providers such as Skype were banned in 2004, and in October last year, officials had said that the policy would be out by end-2009.

Bansberry Mobile Dialer is available in UAE
 

Bansberry Mobile dialer has great feature and it provides Crystal Clear Sound Quality with good bandwidth.
It also have a good featured contact list that shows all numbers under one name.
I can see the balance and call duration after a call.
Before this i use another mobile dialer which has a lot of problem to register, but the bansberry has a easy registration process.
