Are you wanting to catch up with your family or friends, but you can’t? The Telecommunications and Digital Government Regulatory Authority (TDRA) has recently approved several video and voice calling apps in the UAE.
In the UAE, Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) apps are regulated by the Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (TDRA).
Currently, the UAE allows 11 VoIP applications.

Currently, the app is available for Apple, Android, and Microsoft Windows devices.
