For those who doesn't know VoIP is totally blocked in Oman, while Skype is totally blocked (you can't get to Skype website!) MSN, Yahoo and other IMs cannot make voice chat!
Being an expat in this country I mainly use my phone for international calls, after figuring out how much I pay for the international calls I managed to work around the VoIP blocking through using SSH tunneling and basically routing my traffic through some server out of the country to make PC to phone and PC to PC calls, but the inconvenience of using the PC and the lack of mobility while using the PC is still major.
I am still thinking of a way of using the 3G mobile to actually make VoIP calls but apparently there isn't much providers for this, Call Back might be an option but again the rates are really high compared to the normal VoIP rates (especially for the terminating leg to Oman) any ideas of how to overcome this!?
