MTN Business blocking VOIP port?

[PaulB_]

Hi there guys.

I'm in New Zealand, so I pay for a VPN service, so I can access SA content.
One of the content I have, is a Nexus ISP VOIP line, and it's always worked on previous VPNs, they used Web Africa, and Mweb as their provider, the one I'm with currently use MTN Business, and their service is firewalled like you won't believe. DStv on Demand is inaccessible, and the 5060 port for VOIP is shut tight, and firewalled, and my VOIP service doesn't want to connect, where as in fact it should.

Can anyone shed light on this?

VPN Service is HideMyAss, in case anyone's wondering.
Thanks

Why would you use a VPN to access a South African VOIP account? VOIP accounts are not geographically restricted so there is no point at all using a VPN to access one. You would be better off just accessing it directly from your internet account in New Zealand.
