Egypt Government has blocked all Internet connections within Egypt to suppress the protests against the President Hosni Mubarak.
Few days back Twitter and Facebook were blocked in Egypt. Now, everything including Email service were blocked.
All the ISPs (Link Egypt, Vodafone/Raya, Telecom Egypt, Noor Group and Etisalat Misr) are NOT working now.

Google and Twitter have launched a service to allow people in Egypt to send Twitter messages by leaving a voicemail on a specific number (+16504194196; +390662207294; and +97316199855)
Anyone can tweet by simply leaving a voicemail on one of these international phone numbers (+16504194196 or +390662207294 or +97316199855) and the service will instantly tweet the message using the hashtag #egypt. No Internet connection is required. People can listen to the messages by dialing the same phone numbers or going to twitter.com/speak2tweet. (You can see the links are pointing to saynow.com. It is the company which was recently acquired by Google).
