The world today has become a global village and communication continues to play a key role in every area of human endeavour. As it is today, communication across countries and continents have been made easier, cheaper and more convenient by applications such as Skype, Wechat, Whatsapp, and hangout etc. With these applications, people from across the world can chat, text, make calls and set up video conferencing for ridiculously cheap amounts, as opposed to the conventional mobile networks.
Whatsapp announced a few months ago that it was adding a free voice calling feature that would allow its users make free calls but unfortunately, people in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) cannot access this service because there is a long standing-ban on the use of Whatsapp in the country.
How to unlock whatsapp in UAE
Although the Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (TRA) has placed a ban on Whatsapp, it really doesn’t mean that residents in the country won’t be able to access and make use of the wonderful features provided by Whatsapp. Below is a guide on how to successfully install and unlock the application;
- The first thing to do is to uninstall any older version of the application and reinstall a newer version. Personally, I will recommend version 2.12.8.
- The next step involves downloading and installing a good VPN for your smartphone. For those of you that do not know anything about VPN, it is an application that hides and cloaks your real IP by providing a different identity from a foreign country. With a VPN, you can choose the IP location of your choice and this helps to boycott the local ban in the country.
- Once you have downloaded and installed the VPN, the rest becomes easy, as setting up the VPN and changing your IP location is basic. At this point, the TRA lacks the jurisdiction to bar or limit the use of your WhatsApp application.
- With a running VPN, every feature of your Whatsapp will run and work perfectly. Now you call enjoy all the benefits of this wonderful service.
- This guide won’t be complete if a few tested and trusted VPN are not suggested to readers. Some of the best VPN that we recommend to users are; HideMyAss VPN and PureVPN. They attract little subscription fees, but their services are top class.
Conclusion
In the world where information is considered a key commodity, people cannot just be left behind because of government policies and limitations. With a working Whatsapp in UAE, communication becomes easy, efficient, and effective. Unlock this application today.
