I know UA blocks Skype, but I think most other services work. I don't recall if I set-up a VPN connection first or not.
United doesn't seem to block the Skype app on Android because that is what douche the next to me is using to chit chat all the way to EWR from IAH on the "beta" 737 $1 / hour wifi.

Flight attendants don't seem to care either.
