Hi, the same thing happened last year in Morocco. The big Telecom giants didn't want to loose revenue ( international calling) so they made VOIP calls impossible.

 

I have seen some people reccomend this online: free VPN service such as CyberGhost to get past the block.

 

Not sure if it will work and how. But it seems like VOIP ( WA, messenger, Viber etc) calling is blocked.

Skype is the primary method of communication between me and my spouse for voice conversation. However, it seems like Skype is no longer available in UAE. Do you guys know of any other service that is available in UAE (whatsapp, viber, imo, none of these allow voice conversation)  :(

Have you tried Telegram? It's also another app that allows you to chat and make phone calls. Not sure if it's allowed in UAE, but you can try.
