I googled and here is a site you can send to several different companies as well as see who the provider is in the drop box by phone prefix. There is a way to send from your email account but each provider uses a different protocall so you would need to research their provider. http://freesmsonline.net/ Also my cell phone provider (Alltel) sms to ukraine is the same fee as sending one locally so for ten bucks a month you can probably send all of the sms es you want. peteb Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 10/16/2008 12:20:14 AM   i use two services when in kyiv... 'jeans' for obvious reasons, and 'life' because you can buy sim cards that have loads of free minutes for calling the UK. and her best friends husband sells these 'life' cards! lol! /pete colin Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 10/16/2008 1:05:15 AM   Hey Pete, If you live in Europe use the Vodafone network (or a affliated network) every text delivers. its quite strange we have 3 other networks here all sms,s get sent with them but 9 out of 10 times they dont deliver.I get good value for ringing the Ukraine from this network as well. And if my wife sends me picture messages I always receive them too. peteb Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 10/16/2008 3:13:21 AM   my sms always get delivered from my O2 network... strangely enough my 'jeans' phone now says 'jeans vodafone'! i am in UK, for now, lol. /pete colin Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 10/16/2008 5:04:18 AM   tried yesterday with o2 all failed strange bowhunter Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 10/16/2008 8:11:33 AM   thanks oz ill give it a try.

I have tried to send a few SMS text messages to the Kyivstar network from my T-Mobile and all have failed. Also when I try to call the number I always get a message that says 'sorry,but the number you are calling is currently unavaliable, please try later' Does anyone know if Kyivstar has a poor reception in Nikolaev? searching Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 8/5/2009 7:51:26 PM   I do not understand? Can't you just send a txt (sms) message from your phone to theirs in Russia/Ukraine/Belarus and they receive it? If they speak english, there should be no problem to understand what you write...right?? Muzzy Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 8/6/2009 3:55:26 AM   @ Searching, Unfortunately it's not always that simple. All GSM networks are supposed to comply with the original GSM Memorandum Of Understanding, but many don't, especially in poorer countries. Even in rich countries like the UK and US, the networks don't always perform as they're supposed to, and they're multi billion pound/dollar affairs. They have problems (including interconnectivity) but they get fixed because they can afford to fix them. Running a network is a never ending job - like spinning plates. There's constant repairs and upgrades. One of the biggest problems can be interconnection with other networks, which usually relies on the national landline carrier (for instance, BT connects all the UK networks together). If they fail a scheduled maintenance, or have old equipment that can't handle the workload, failures will occur. Texts can be particularly prone to problems. The original GSM framework only included SMS as an option, not a mandatory requirement. For over a decade, most networks in the UK only put in the minimum amount of server equipment needed to process them (and many phones didn't have the facility) because it was only seen as a small feature that people wouldn't use much. To handle current text levels, a network has to seriously invest in more equipment (and it is VERY expensive). If they don't, texts have a far smaller success rate. It's even possible to set the server to prioritise texts in certain number groups (i.e., so domestic texts get handled first). Most SMSCs (the equipment that process texts) give a shelf life to each text to be delivered. If not delivered after so-many-hours, it's dropped (O2 reduced their shelf life a few years ago to increase capacity). Sorry, wasn't supposed to go on that long :P baron555 Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 8/6/2009 10:02:29 AM   My RW and I SMS all the time. Works into Moscow, southern Russia and in Ukraine. Sometimes it gets the slows but usually its about a 10 minute turnaround. durak Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 8/6/2009 11:03:57 AM   My small experience: From the kyivstar web site, you can send a free SMS to any Kyivstar number. When I tried SMS to Ukraine from my Verizon mobile here in the U.S., it never got through. But I found out by accident, that my AT&T pay-as-you-go (GoPhone) SIM worked fine to a Ukraine number (not sure which system), and not at all expensively either. bowhunter Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 8/6/2009 11:26:02 AM   well on T-mobile if you hvve unlimited text you can send all the sms you want. my MTC from Ukraine will even work in some places in the U.S. if there is a gsm carrier. my kievstar shuts down as soon as I leave Ukraine . Mini Cooper Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 8/6/2009 10:29:14 PM   My Virgin Mobile phone sends and receives sms messages without any problems to Ukraine. Perhaps some small phone carriers will not deliver them but I would say the vast majority of sms messages sent will be received. Just about anyone that has a cell phone in Ukraine uses sms because it is so cheap. aucklander Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 8/7/2009 6:27:27 AM   I tested texting with a Russian friend one night while we were talking on the phone (landline to landline)- sent a text from my mobile and heard the beep on her mobile less than 30 seconds later. She did the same back to me - again, no more than 30 seconds to get halfway around the world. bowhunter Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 8/7/2009 8:49:29 AM   I have found that with t mobile if you dont have unlimited text you have to buy prepay minutes to send sms over seas.
