Unblock VOIP in UAE with Gtalk2Voip

If you live in UAE and want to use VOIP, Lets understand a great way to use all betamax providers or any other VOIP Provider from UAE without getting blocked. You can now bypass local VOIP restrictions by using Gtalk2VOIP.

Gtalk2Voip has been around for years and provides an excellent VOIP/SIP gateway service. Not Only Gtalk2Voip Team has been close friends to VOIP Guide but we have used their services to create some world class VOIP hacks. Ruslan from Gtalk2VOIP shared with me an awesome way to bypass all VOIP blocks in UAE region by using their gtalk2voip gateway service.

Ruslan mentioned that its very likely that gtalk2voip website has been blocked by UAE ISPs. However, their VOIP service is still working fine. Gtalk2VOIP doesn't use SIP and run a wide spread of relays world-wide to avoid being blocked by local telephone providers.

You first need to setup a Gtalk2VOIP account. If you can access gtalk2voip then read this complete guide to setup SIP with Gtalk2voip or read one my guide on gtalk2voip

You can setup an external SIP account in dialing plan. This account can be smartvoip , actionvoip etc as long as that VOIP service supports SIP, you are good to go.

Please note the following:

1. HTTPS protocol must be used everytime to access gtalk2voip, because this is part of block overcoming mechanism and it makes connection secure, so ETISALAT will never know about any connection made to our site.

2. We run a set of relays, some of them are blocked by ETISALAT aready, so if our web site is not opening, it's good to flush DNS cache (Go to Start-Run, Type cmd, a black windows will open. Now type ipconfig /flushdns and then you can close the window) to make it request another relay.

3. The service works fine with most Betamax clones, including Actionvoip.

4. The service is available on WIFI equipped mobile phones through our Talkonaut mobile app, available from https://www.talkonaut.com/

5. The service is premium, they charge $5/month to allow unlimited calls. For demo/test purpose they allow to use our serivce in unpaid mode, but they would drop calls after 3 mins, there is no limit on number of calls made, so one can use it in unpaid mode to make short calls as much as needed. Additionally, since you need to pay $5 for this service, gtalk2voip will return the money within 12 hours of your testing if it failed to connect or you can't use it.

Give Gtalk2voip a try and let us know if they can offer a solution to VOIP problems in UAE.
