Hi just asking..do you really have to use that $18 Pin to call the USEM? kasi ang alam ko nowadays u can call the embassy na using your prepaid cp d katulad non na PLDT landline lng.

To my knowledge:

-If you are calling from the United States, yes you have to buy the $18 one time charge to call the USEM.

-If you are calling from the Philippines, you have to use a PLDT landline.

I know this because my fiance tried calling the USEM using her prepaid cell phone and she couldn't get through. :(

ako kasi i use the magic jack, call the toll free number and use the pin to talk to them. are you referring to the 1-909 number? thats like 59 pesos per minute, sayang naman ung prepaid mo dto or kung naka line ka ang mahal naman. since meron naman ako free calls to US, or you can also use skype, since toll free yon, you may just choose to do the $18 pin instead

How come she can't make the call? i did that many times using my cp when i went home 6 months ago lng.Never had a problem calling USEM from my cp and didnt cost me P59 a minute khit nga 50 lng load ko.Chances are she called a t the wrong time. they have specific time to call for all phone inquiries.
