Experiencing Difficulties Making Calls To or From a Middle Eastern Country
Updated this week

If you're unable to make a call to or from a Middle Eastern country using VoIP, there could be several reasons. Some countries block or limit VoIP calls, while others allow them with some restrictions.

Why You Might Be Facing Issues:

1️⃣ VoIP Restrictions 🚫
Many Middle Eastern countries (e.g., UAE, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Qatar, etc.) have strict regulations on VoIP services, often blocking them to protect local telecom providers.

2️⃣ Internet & Network Issues 🌐

  • A weak or unstable internet connection can cause calls to fail.

  • Some internet providers block VoIP calls on their networks.

  • If you're using a VPN, it might interfere with your calls. (Note: Our service does not support VPN use. Check our article "Using VPN App" for more details.)

3️⃣ Mobile Carrier Restrictions πŸ“΅

  • Some mobile providers block VoIP calls on mobile data.

  • Your mobile or internet provider may not support VoIP calling.

4️⃣ App or Account Issues βš™οΈ

  • Make sure your app is up to date.

  • Check that you have enough credit or that your account is not restricted.

5️⃣ Call Quality Problems πŸ”‡

  • Slow or weak internet can cause poor call quality (delays, dropped calls, or no sound).

  • Some internet providers slow down VoIP traffic on purpose.

How to Fix It:

βœ… Try a different internet connection (Wi-Fi vs. mobile data).
βœ… Check that the phone number is correct, including the country code.
