Ok guys... I need your help... I am ignorant when it comes to cel phones and might be the last known American to not purchase a cel phone... My girl has a cel phone and wants me to send SMS messages to her. I looked it up and found out alot about it. Also looked on the archives and read everything on here about it but I still need help...

She uses Kiev Star. I searched web pages and only found a Russian page for Kiev Star. Since I do not have a cel phone does anyone have suggestions on what I need? Will all providers here work with sending SMS to Ukraine? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
Z

First, the English version of Kyivstar's website can be found here -- http://www.kyivstar.net/eng/index.html.

Next, if you want to send a SMS message to a Kyivstar subscriber, you can do so from any computer via their website here -- http://www.kyivstar.net/eng/service/index.html#lib/sms_send.html

You will also find instructions on that same web page to enable you to send SMS via an e-mail message.

You will also need to know her telephone number to be able to use their SMS service.

Now - if she wants to send SMS to you - then you will need a cellphone and network provider that supports it. AT&T Wireless is one - and most others do as well.

I hope this helps.
