@Adnan: Presently, Betternet is working fine in UAE. Please check your version for whatsapp and betternet and update it to the latest one.
Do this VPN works on mobile data
Yes, it works on data as well.

I am from Gujarat, India. Government has banned whatsapp in Gujarat state for a few days. I am using whatsapp on my laptop using bluestacks. Can you tell me how can I bypass the limitation coerced by authorities? Betternet is not working. I can not create a VPN.
Else attempt Cyberghost for windows.
Hope this helps.
Dear friend, I can’t use the WhatsApp calling albeit when connected with betternet. Willingly, attempt to help
What I’ve noticed is that if your whatsapp account was created using a phone number outside UAE for eg: India (or other country without TRA confinements) then It works via betternet.
If have UAE number
where ever you are u cannot call by whats app better net is working in UAe for whats app call only when you have whatsapp number other then UAE then better net works
Its not working on iphone in uae
Even Betternet has now stopped working in UAE now. WhatsApp calling is entirely blocked in UAE and now Betternet VPN has also been blocked. No options now to connect IMO or WhatsApp calling.
VPN is connecting with “VPN Express” but not with “Betternet VPN:
No issue! You just need any VPN which sets your surfing country to NON-UAE
You can attempt other available VPN’s. We have a article over that too.
u can use india number in whatsapp then you can call from whatsapp to whatsapp free call
do we need to have Data enabled on India number for whatsapp calling to work here?
Hi Siddharth, I don’t think, you need your Data enabled on your India number for this service to work.
Thank you so much for this!
Visiting Morocco and they just recently blocked VoIP calls and it’s been a fat hassle.

What is wrong with these Muslims and their propaganda? They are much worse than Socialist China.Nobody will come to your place when you run out of oil. You better love while you have a chance…
What about Saudi Arabia since these apps are now banned as well, whats the best vpn to use there?
Dina you may go with #Betternet or #SuperVPN. Go to play store and search for any of the two and love the calling.

I am presently located in Qatar and call regularly to India via whatsapp, but since Last duo of week I am encountering problem with whatsapp calling. Once the call is connected, after few seconds it shows re-connecting and never connects. Is their any solution for this issue.
Hi atul, this is mainly due to poor internet connectivity from one end! if its your end , then the person at other end is having issues with the internet. Only this is the presently known issue for your problem. Hoping the response was helpful.
Thanks for your reply.
At the same time I had raised this issue what whatsapp directely and received the following feed back. As per their advise, my phone power saving mode was enabled. Now I have disabled it and I am again able to make whatsapp calls. Below QUOTE -UNQUOTE advise received from Whats app team. Hope this information will be useful for other users.
Thanks for your message.
When experiencing issues with WhatsApp calls, please attempt connecting to a different network (such as Wi-Fi connection instead of mobile data, or vice versa). Your current network might not be decently configured for UDP (User Datagram Protocol) which may prevent WhatsApp Calling from functioning decently.
If you are incapable to make or receive WhatsApp calls after connecting to your Wi-Fi connection, make sure your router’s security settings and firewall configuration are not blocking certain types of connections in order for WhatsApp Calling to function decently.
If you have any extra questions regarding UDP or Firewall settings, please contact your service provider or network administrator for extra information.
Additionally, your battery saver and bluetooth connection may also cause issues with WhatsApp calls. If your battery saver is turned on or bluetooth is connected, please attempt disabling them and let us know if the issue still persists.

If whats app is registered using any UAE based number then even VPN will not work, In order to love whats app calling In uae, the only option is that Uninstall your whats app , Install it again and regiester it using any country number where whats app calling is not banned, like india , Pakistan, Bangladesh etc
