Blocked Skype calls

The rumor mill in San Felipe is saying something about Telnor blocking Skype calls. Any further info?
I know several years ago Telcel used to block cell phone calls to the US during heavy usage periods, such as spring break times. Could be the same problem, or just interfering with the competition.

Skype is a bit less clear than normal in BCS lately. No problems with iPad version phoning to Canada last Sunday.

In SF
Actually reports are for Telcel doing the blocking. No update lately.
These are people with a Telcel dongle on their laptop that have issues.
Telnor dsl works fine and we use it all the time .
People using various wifi and laptops are having success, probably because the connection in Telnor.

I have Wi Max here at my house, only some 800 & 877 numbers will not go thru. Not all of them 7 regular numbers to U.S work just fine on my Skype.

Install a VPN for about $6-7/mo and your problems w/Skype calls will go away.
