Calling Dubai is not possible through Skype and VIOP


Dubai has now become the most sought after destination for people from all walks of life throughout the world because of enormous opportunities available in Dubai. Many people come to Dubai either for business or for employment from all parts of the world. The telecom companies understand this scenario and therefore have provided efficient, fast and cheaper schemes for calling Dubai for the benefit of persons who want to talk to their relatives or near ones who are in Dubai. They have launched special calling cards. They also provide special bargains and schemes on their cards. 

So, it is always cheaper to use a calling card when calling your near and dear ones living in Dubai from abroad. So, if you want to call you near and dear one living in Dubai you should talk to various companies providing calling cards and select the right card for you.  Of course these cards will not be as cheap as Skype or VIOP but will save some valuable money for you.

If you have selected the right card your calling charges will be less and the card will last long. There are many companies which provide calling cards and the rates vary from company to company. Comfi and Raza are the two best calling cards available in the market. The use of the calling cards makes your calls cheaper in comparison to the calls made by the landline phones or mobiles under regular schemes.

Telephony has now become very advanced. Now many other calling methods are also available to you. If you have to call to any person residing anywhere in the world from anywhere there will be no problem for you. Technology has become so much advanced that there are many ways of calling like using Skype or VIOP. 

These new methods of calling have made calling very cheap also. But if you are calling Dubai you should know that Skype and VIOP are not allowed for calling there.

So, there are only three options for you. You can do Dubai calling either through or mobile or through your landline phone or through calling cards. If you want to call a person in Dubai through your mobile or landline phone you will have to dial country code followed by the area code and then the seven digit telephone number. You are done and you will be connected to the telephone you want and will be able to talk to the desired person. But your calling charges may be high because you are not allowed to use the cheaper ways like Skype or VIOP.

The country code of Dubai is 971. The area code of Dubai for landline is 4 and for cell phones the area code is 50. The telephones in Dubai are based on 7 digit system just like USA. So, of you want to call your relative from your landline number you will have to dial 9714 followed by his seven digit telephone number. However, if you are calling from your mobile you will have to dial 97150 followed by his telephone number.

The charges for these long distance calls may vary and will depend on who is your telephone service provider. The charges for calling Dubai from US are about 4 cents per minute.
