  No. Skype’s video and voice calling features are blocked in the UAE because it isn’t licensed under the country’s VoIP regulations. You can still use Skype for chat or file sharing, but calling won’t work. Approved alternatives like BOTIM, C’Me, or ToTok function normally and are authorized by local telecom providers. FaceCall plans to offer a compliant and secure solution, allowing residents to make private, high-quality calls without breaching regulations.

  No. Skype’s voice and video calling functions are blocked in the UAE due to VoIP restrictions. You can still use it for messaging or file sharing, but calls won’t connect. Licensed platforms like BOTIM or C’Me are the alternatives that work legally. FaceCall is developing within those same regulations, aiming to deliver clear, secure, and officially approved calling in the region.
