Some ISPs block all SIP-based VoIP traffic, including many ISPs in the Middle East. You might be able to work with your ISP to allow SIP-based traffic, or you may be able to use a VPN to connect to the service

SIP is a VoIP protocol, and some countries censor VoIP services with licensing regulations. They probably want to force use of their traditional metered telecommunications, rather than have nearly free over-the-top communication.
