Sadly my landline won't dial international as I discovered trying this method during the black out though I did try the direct number (non DNS method but of course was randomly guessing them).

This has been posted and tweeted before probably but for those in Egypt who have Bluetooth on their mobiles and laptops but no international landline can still dial out
Also on al j: Internet access across Egypt is still shoddy according to most reports. Khadija Sharife wrote in the Huffington Post that Egyptians can still connect "via traditional phone lines using the following instructions: FDN (Free World Dial up) to access the Internet anonymously at the following number: 33172890150 with login: toto and password: toto."

I'll check it out - I do have bluetooth on one of my phones but it's my UK one so probably not financially feasible, I'll check. Didn't know that the landlines that are international can no longer dial out. I have a standing arrangement with my family that they will call morning and night if they don't hear from me otherwise and update my facebook wall daily so peeps can know where things at. Quite hard to convey to people that you are unable to initiate an international call though!
