AnchorFree

From a UPS guy on another forum: "You download and install it in your applications area. It will place a small red shield icon on your toolbar... mine is up next to the clock. When it is red and you go online, just click on the red shield and it will go through its processes of assigning you an IP address and the shield turns green. You just then operate Skype like normal. It is very easy and works."

Due to the exchange rate, 100AED has been more than $25 for quite some time now. The Fox system tried to make me pay for the overage in DXB earlier this year.

So, I went back and found where the full 100AED had been paid several times in the past. I wrote my ACP about the situation and found out that there is a List of pre-approved [internet] high cost cities and DXB is one of them! It sure would be nice to know which cities are on the list.

After a few emails, the overage IOU was canceled. Now I include a note in the comments section about how the full charge has been paid in the past.

Oooops. Found out when I checked out. I did have to pay last time I was there though. That was a few months ago. I wish the company would have all hotels do that.
