I have "Alias", and it's a good VPN to unblock sites, but it does not unblock Skype or FB messenger.

I can type in those two, but the calls are so choppy, I can't talk.

Recently, I used safeVPN, and it did unblock Skype, but it slowed down everything so much, I couldn't open a page.

What good VPN do you recommend?

I can't speak for FB messenger, but Skype choppiness is always based on the speed of your connection. So you need to have a decently fast connection to start with... and then a VPN that doesn't make your connection even slower.

VS

I use Private Tunnel VPN. About 30 GBP per year for unlimited usage. It doesn't slow down any applications and Skype and FB calls are perfect. Voices are clear and the video relatively decent (depending on the internet speed at the time).

It looks like you won't need a VPN anymore to unblock video calling applications. According to Arab News, such apps will be unblocked next week.
