Hi, I am in hurghada, and before i was in bahrain, i used my vonage fine. If u are having problems, just download vonage talk, and u can use it on ur computer anywhere, just don't be using dial up internet service, and u will be fine.

Good luck

Thanks khater for your response, yes they do have special phones that are programmed for Skype software, instead of having ur computer on to connect to Skype, you can dial directly from the phone, more like Vonage, expensive though sells btw $99-$260.
Regards,

Maryann

I have Skype too, and would someone tell me if I will be able to use the Skype WiFi phone.

I assure you that you will be able to use the Skype Wi-Fi phone. Vonage and Magic Phone also work fine. Actually we have used it to contact friends in Canada; we didn't try to connect to Europe.
Enjoy your stay next November.

I called Vonage yesterday and told them of my possible move to Cairo. They said they do work over in that area, and that I could keep my US phone number. I do not know how accurate that information is, but it comes from a rep of Vonage!

I have Vonage in Cairo. It is working fine. I have it since 3 years now. You need to set it up before you leave the US.
