Question:

Why is there a bad connection all the time when I try to make calls to Ukraine Mobile Phones?

I have a girl that I like in the Ukriane, but every time I call her from my home phone line to her mobile phone! She can barely hear me, I experianced this same problem with another person but then we tried having me make a phone call from my home in Ohio, to their home int he Ukriane and I heard them pretty well! with no problems! What's going on with this, is this on my end or their end on why they can hardly hear me! It seems to always happen when I call European mobile phones in particular, or do you think it is my phone at home! Bu that wouldn;t make sense on why I can hear them fien when I call from my house to their house! Can anyone help, comments would greatly be appreicated?

Answer:

probley because there is such a mile difference in between u and her
i've got faith that that's an internet delusion. you would be able to make unfastened calls to Skype type shoppers and so on however the 2nd you need to call out to landlines and cellular it constantly costs funds.
It is a bit complicated, but to summarize: When you call from your home to her home, your long distance carrier routes the call over the international trunk lines, through the telco in Ukraine, and directly to her home phone. When you call to her mobile phone, the call takes the same route, but the telco in Ukraine routes the call to her mobile carriers central call center, and then the call has to be searched in Ukraine to find her phone and the call is carried over their cellular network which may involve routing it through several different carriers (cellular) and connections (landline telcos), depending on where she is and what company her mobile service is with. Interconnects between carriers in Ukraine are very poor (they route competitors calls through the worst lines, to obtain more direct customers). Depending on who your phone company uses to carry international calls to Europe, the quality of the call might be better or worse. A call through a calling card is usually as you experience. Redialing may make her hear you, but you do not hear her. In my experience, direct dialed calls through Vonage are usually good in both directions at a reasonable price (16 cents a minute). QWest direct dialed call to a mobile in Ukraine is usually very good (but very expensive - 26 cents a minute). A good calling card (about 50% chance of a good connection) is the Continental card from phonecards.waytorussia (at 11 cents a minute) - and it allows her to call you for the same price via sms callback (and the connection that way is very good).
