No decision has been taken yet on the prevention of the voice calls through Facebook, Mohammed Al Ghanim, Director General of the Telecommunication Regulatory Authority (TRA) has said.

In a report in Al Bayan, Al Ghanim pointed out that the TRA will soon meet with local operators (etisalat and du) to discuss the free voice service available via Facebook.

He added that the TRA will assess the situation and the compatibility of the service with the standards and regulations of the telecommunications sector in the UAE.

Al Ghanim said that the authority has addressed the need for a gradual transition to Voice Over Internet Protocol at the UAE level.

He added that systems will be updated which allow operators, companies and institutions to transition to this system.
