Unable to register to Tango from UAE, any help appreciated

[supira]

Dear Members

I use an Iphone and an Ipad

I'm looking for good video call alternatives to Skype and landed at Tango

I'm unable to register to Tango from UAE. the local ISP / carrier , 'Etisalat' has blocked Tango, so right at the registration / authentication point, Tango stops working and say authentication not happening

(a) IF any of you have work arounds please let me know ; I am NOT very willing to use hotspot shield etc as these generally slow down things

(b) I hope some Tango developer folks get this message and help the million or so eager users in UAE and similar countries ready to Join Tango ; Viber has overcome this "authentication" problem in UAE using some innovative solutions (they call back instead of sending the code over SMS !!) . Now I see a lot of UAE users on viber; Tango has a ready user base here, just waiting to be tapped

Regards

Is there some reason FaceTime isn't an option? Admittedly it only connects to other iOS devices and Macs running Lion or later, but ... man does it work beautifully.
