Telephone
numbers are guaranteed, but only if it
is impossible to communicate with them
and if we cannot provide the correct one
or a new one. It is necessary to consider
some important limitations..
95%
of the errors on the telephone numbers
are due to inaccuracy or changes in the
country or city codes. Also, make sure
to dial the international phone call code
before the telephone number. In Europe
this code is 00, in the USA it is 1 and
thus, each country has its own. This is
the first thing we check when a client
says to us that he has not been able to
communicate by telephone: that the country
and city codes are the correct ones. If
there were some change in them we would
provide it.
In
addition, with the telephone numbers there
can be similar situations to the ones
with the emails. In the Western world
we are very used to that any failure in
the line is solved in hours, at most,
or the calls are switched through other
switchboard, reason why we don't hear
about the breakdown. At most, we find
that there is a "line saturation".
In countries as Cuba or Russia becomes
very difficult switch through the lines
in case of a breakdown, because the switchboards
usually are very old, analogical instead
of digital, and whereas the switching
of lines in a digital switchboard is done
from a computer, in a digital switchboard
is necessary to do it manually, reason
why it is simply impossible.
In
these countries a telephone breakdown
can easily last several days, mainly in
some zones. Sometimes, the lack of resources,
not of interest, does that these breakdowns
are lasting more than they would like.
Once, we knew of a breakdown in Cuba that
took 6 weeks to be solved. What here is
unacceptable, not even a day of breakdown,
in other places is simply normal: "patience".
In addition in some regions of Russia,
Ukraine, Belarus, etc, due to extreme
temperatures, some lines are frozen and
broken during Winter.
All
these situations end up being solved,
but sometimes a telephone can be out of
order during days.
In
addition there are other situations to
be considered:
Easter Europe telephone numbers:
When
you call to the telephone numbers of the
women living in the Eastern countries,
keep in mind that these can be living
with relatives who, unlike her, do not
speak another language than Russian. And
also it is possible that the English level
of the woman you are phoning is not very
fluid. Sometimes they have a better written
level than a spoken one.
It
is completely impossible to us to guarantee
that all the persons of the woman's family
understand what you are saying from the
other side of the line. There have been
cases of clients who think that the provided
phone number was wrong because the person
who answered the phone call could not
speak in a different language than his
or her mother tongue. Consider, for example,
the Russian word 'Niet' (it means 'No').
If some one says to you: 'Natalia Niet'
(Natalia No), it can mean many things:
1- Natalia is not at home at this moment
but she will return later, 2- She is on
vacation and is outside of the city (Christmas,
Summer, etc) 3- She is working right now,
and many others. There have been clients
who think that 'Natalia niet' means that
the phone number is wrong. It doesn't
mean this necessarily. It can be as simple
as she is buying, working or at the cinema.
On
the other hand, we have the wrong idea
that in Russia each house has a telephone.
This is not thus. In Russia much people
live in apartment buildings that only
have a telephone for a whole floor (about
10 apartments). This makes that when we
call to these places, the first people
who answers the telephone is the first
one who hears the call. And this person
may have nothing in common with the person
whom we are calling, except that she is
his or her neighbour.
This
is specially true if our member has not
provided the best time to call. It can
happens that you call to an hour in which
she is not at home. In these cases the
best thing to do is to try again in a
prudent schedule. A good time to try is
from 9:00 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. of the country
of residence local time. In case of not
being able to communicate with her, our
advice is to send a letter and to asks
her when is the best time of call.
Cuba
telephone numbers:
Sometimes,
Cuban members provide a neighbor's or
a friend's phone number. This is because
in the island, it can get up to 10 years
to install a phone line, and the granted
is not guaranteed, since it has to get
the consent of the Government, reason
why people use this sharing method. It
seems something incredible, but it is
true. Obtaining a line in less than 2
years is something of privileged people.
If the telephone is a neighbor's or friend's
one, there are some disadvantages that
you would have to know:
If,
considering these limitations, the telephone
number is still being wrong and we cannot
provide you with a new one, we will change
the contact data of this woman for 1
alternative reference, although
the physical address is correct.
IMPORTANT:
ALMOST ALL the women prefer that the first
contact is trough of a letter, not trough
a phone call. They want to know how is
the person who is interested in them,
to see a photo, etc. You know how she
is physically and she doesn't. If you
only phone call her, she does not get
an idea of how you are. We will ONLY change
the reference number contact data by another
one if the phone number is WRONG and we
cannot provide you with a correct one
or a new one, not if the English level
of the woman is not fluid enough when
speaking, neither if it has not been possible
to locate to the woman when she has been
phoned (all of them work or need to go
out of the house to buy, to go to the
cinema, etc), nor if she says that she
prefer to receive a letter for a first
contact instead of a phone call, nor if
she says to you that she is not interested
in you. As we have said already, we cannot
guarantee that she falls in love with
you. That depends on you, not of us, and
it is very difficult that someone falls
in love with another, only with a phone
call.
