It is my understanding the Government considers VoIP illegal since it would compete with the Government run service in Dubai. This is based on a conversation with a coworker who was raised there and just returned from a vacation home. You should check this out to make sure my facts are correct.

Yeah even I had heard something of that nature. So I posted here to check the validity. -----Original Message----- From: Steve Blair [mailto:blairs@isc.upenn.edu] Sent: Monday, February 07, 2005 4:27 PM To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion Subject: Re: [Asterisk-Users] SIP port blocked in Dubai ?

Someone should set up some port reflecting proxy in another country to work around that particular issue. /rg On Feb 7, 2005, at 4:38 PM, Manjit Riat wrote:> Yeah even I had heard something of that nature.

It most likely has nothing to do with the country but could be their provider. I have networks in other parts of Arfica but have my own backbone into US via VSAT. Most of the connectivity from Africa is satellite and UAE is no different. Other than the 560ms latency, VoIP works very well.

Hello, We had same problem in other african country. We could resolve it through using IAX Bridge in Asterisk since it only uses one port of yoru choice. For your solution, you need: 1-) Scan outgoing / incoming open ports by your ISP; 2-) If there remains many open ports, you may still run SIP by changing ports; 3-) Alternately, you need to get IAX bridge working if need be; It is my understanding the Government considers VoIP illegal since it would compete with the Government run service in Dubai. This is based on a conversation with a coworker who was raised there and just returned from a vacation home. You should check this out to make sure my facts are correct.
