VOIP, Vonage, Skype, MagicJack being blocked
Many service Providers and Countries are blocking VOIP and Skype Service. Some countries do it to control the population and others do it to keep their national Telecom Providers from losing money.
Here is a tip to get by this obstacle.
Get a VPN service for your use and you can then connect and use the VOIP service and also surf without anyone being able to see you activity. I was prompted to look into this on a few TDY's since my VOIP phone would not work in Paraguay.
I am using now a VPN provider that has solved our problem in Paraguay and Panama.
You can use a Banana VPN service to get through the blocked ports and use Vonage, MagicJack and even Skype.
There are several company's out there that sell the same type of service but The difference with them is that they will let you use it on your PC and on your laptop when you travel. Many of the other providers do not. That means you only have one payment per month instead of 2+ if you live in another country.
They have a special at $14 a month and then you can use the VOIP provider you want.
If you want check them out and see if they fit your needs:
Hope this helps someone out there stay in touch. My MagicJack has helped me get back in-touch with friends and Family and I do not want to lose that as I travel.
