Calling Plans to Ukraine

[Richard]

I've been using Net2Phone to call Kiev, but have been experiencing problems lately.  Can anybody suggest an alterative?  I need something that allows me an option to call when I'm away from home. (I don't have a cellular phone.)

Richard,

They are not the very best rates, but Sam's and Costco sell calling cards that cost the equivalent of less than 4 cents per minute for domestic calls. When used to call Ukraine, the multiplier is usually 6 - so it works out to about 25 cents per minute. I know there are cheaper calling plans out there, but these calling cards may be used from any telephone - including a mobile telephone - so the convenience factor may be important.

I hope this helps.

I think the best deal is at Leancard.com ....Their cards work very well and the cost for Ukraine is .125 per min.

My service has been good and they have always subtracted disconnects etc...

Hope this helps,

Thanks - this might work from home: I've been using at&t as a backup at 29 cents/minute + taxes and monthly fee.

With the 101-5335 dial around at 18 cents a minute, there is NO monthly fee either!  There are taxes certainly but that's it!  Best deal I've found so far at least..

If I was the Consulate interviewer, I would want to see the guy there in person to claim his lady.

the phone bills and all are good support for the K1 application that gets you to the interview.

I-130 is the petition... K-1 is the visa.
So in Mikes statement, I assumed interview...(and you need all that is requested of course)    
He wrote that he wasn't there.
Not so with me. I had a most memorable vacation in Warsaw

The two major websites that I followed in assembling my submission to the IRS included the suggestion to send copies of telephone calls - and e-mail correspondence - as further evidence that the relationship is legitimate. I followed that guidance and the petition went through without a hitch. Would it have made a difference had I *not* included those documents? I don't know. It does, however, seem logical to expect that greater, not less, scrutiny will be afforded future petitions (mine was prior to September 11), hence, it is probably a good idea to err on the side of caution and send more evidence of meeting/relationship rather than expect them to approve a petition on the basis of the bare minimums.

Wouldn't you agree Mike?
