Telephone

I am curious if anyone has any experience calling the cell phones of girls in other countries.

I am in the US and know how to find good rates here, but what I would really like to know is if the girls receive charges, other than the normal rate, when they receive a call on their cell phone from another country.

This situation has not yet presented itself to me yet, but I do have someone I would like to call on their cell phone, but don't want them to receive an excessive telephone bill because I did.

Thanks for the info.

Use Skype, it's cheaper.

Thanks, but you seem to misunderstand my question or else I was not clear. I have several choices to make my call from the US, including Skype. What I am asking is, if I call her regular cell phone, are there extra charges to her because the call was international that she received?And, has anyone had experience with that?

Yep quite a lot of experience and generally the answer is no.
I only knew one girl (sister of one of my girlfriends) who was charged to recieve calls.
Did you think to ask her?
She will know whether her service provider will charge her or not.
In my experience (from the UK) your biggest problem is getting a decent connection.

Use a proxy for whatever country she is in,so the company will think you are in that country.

Good idea, I like that... I have an internet office phone in my home that allows me to call worldwide for next to nothing, but I was afraid that if I did, there may be some sort of back charge to her. I have family in CH and in the past there was a charge in some areas under similar circumstances. I definitely think that if a girl is seriously interested, they need to find as many ways as possible to open up communication.. Yet at the same time, I didn't want to create a "surprise" bill for her.

Generally, they do not get a charge. But as others have said, skype is by far the best, or use a proxy service...Rebtel is good

Just a short comment:
I think it is relevant to mention that you cannot be sure, where your call is received.

Even if you think that you are calling for example Belarus, your call may be redirected to another country such as Ghana.

Most calls are actually going to the country you called (99% I guess), but in this world with dating scams it is important to look for potential risks.

I am sure that you guys think that when you speak with a lady on the phone that this is a proof that she is seriouly interested in you. And it is a proof in most cases! In a few cases the person at the other end of the line is an accomplice in a dating scam.

I don't want to scare you. I have NOT met any scammers at Lovers Planet. - But even if the women are prescreened, it's a good idea to take care of yourself.

When I was in Ukraine last year I learned that incomeing calls are free (by there law) they doent even have to have any credits on there phone to receive calls

One easy way to check if your call is going to the area you think it is, is by useing a calling card and after a few calls to the ladies in an area you will know the ball park cost per minute to call that area so when you contact a lady and the minuts are a lot higher or lower its a good indication its going somewhere else

Example calling ukraine which is closser than russia I had 115 Minites ( I have called this area before) of call time but when I called a lady that said she was in Moscow Russia it came back with 800 minites

AND

Im sure you all know NEVER EVER SEND THEM ANY MONEY!!!!

hi, i have some tips. As we all know mobile calls can be excesive to other countrys depending on network provider. Skype is free to an extent, well depending on how old your mobile is, (within reason) skype can be added to any upto date mobile. But dont download skype as it costs money to do it and there might be charges for doing so. Iskoot.com is the same program for mobile phones but free to download. The charges are as follows. All skype to skype charged at local rate calls charged by your network provider. You also need mobile internet. Most phones now have these for next to nothing and its easy to download and run. Iskoot.com. Select mobile brand,make, and download,i use it, it works, just login by your normal skype name and your cooking on gas! Its great program

Just to give my bit on the phone thing, I use a program similar to Skype called Voipwise. I've use it since day one (calling from my computer) and it's to my mind much cheaper than Skype in general. For those interested here are a few examples of charges:

Russian Federation (Landline): 0.034
Russian Federation (Mobile): 0.042
Russian Federation (moscow) FREE
Russian Federation (st Petersburg) FREE
Ukraine (Landline): 0.067
Ukraine (Mobile): 0.251

Above charges are all inclusive and in US cents. The link is www.voipwise.com. You can choose to see the rates in any country currency.

A good tip for all, DON'T PHONE, THEY ARE NOT WORTH IT tell them to phone you BUT whatever you do PLEASE PLEASE
don't send any money,

Yes that is perhaps the most important tip to give to never send money. I personally never phoned anyone or sent money.
