Many residents in Kuwait know that Skype specifically, and VOIP in general, is banned by the Ministry of Communications. However, a lot of people (to my surprise) didn’t know that once the obstactle of getting the software is overcome, the program works perfectly fine.
There are many ways of getting the software:
If you know someone who lives abroad, you can ask them to download it for you and upload it on a file sharing service such as rapidshare
Alternatively, you can use a free VPN service such as hotspotshield. This will unblock Skype’s homepage and you may download it (at a slow speed).
Or you can use Wataniya Telecom’s routers or tethered mobiles’ unlimited data connection to access Skype’s homepage which is still unblocked. I am not sure about Zain and Viva.. perhaps someone can check and drop in a comment below.
Now to add credit:
You may follow steps 2 or 3. or access Skype’s secured site, which is unblocked by Kuwait’s ISPs.
Skype is the defacto standard for video conferencing and I plea the authorities to reconsider their ban.
Ministry of Communications has launched a drive to recover outstanding dues on landlines . If dues are outstanding you risk of landline disconnection. Already pre-recorded messages are being played to subscribers nearly daily, if your bill payment is outstanding. Now there are 2 ways to do this..long way and short way. Long way means you go to you local telephone exchange and pay the dues which means skipping work for most of us. Or you can check your balances online and pay them via your bank’s online services. I bank with NBK and this facility is available in their online offerings. Anyways here is the drill for checking and paying your landline bills online: 1. Visit the MOC website and login 2. You will need your landline number [use the new number with 2] and civil id number that was used for registering the telephone line 3. Check your balance 4. Login to your banks website and pay your bills
there are lots of VOIP apps available in kuwait .
