thank u

My understanding is that if you call the Embassy from the Phils, that it must be on a "post paid" phone acct, meaning one that is paid after services are rendered, and not pre-loaded. THe USEM then bills that acct for the fee. I think a phone card is also considered pre-loaded. THis is why the Kano usually makes the appt from the US, for his Pinay. I just made one for my girl the other day and the USEM is currently booking appts to Dec 23. Good luck.

Yes, I wondered about that too, when I called last week. Did they drop the pin down to just 2 uses now? or was it always just for 2 uses?

I am certain it says 3X somewhere... Or maybe 3X is just a VJ urban myth? :lol:

Definitely need all the pertinent information handy... DOBs, Addresses, Phone Numbers, Email, PIN, MNL#....

Yes! And I debated whether or not I would get a better deal using the .98 cents/min option, but something tells me I would not. WIth my luck, there would be a rush of callers ahead of me, and I would be on hold for 20 min. Or the operator would see me paying by the min, and intentionally be slow or put me on hold :lol: ANyways, I guess I go for the sure thing of a fixed rate. ANd at least I have one more call if i need it. Cheers.
