Sevastopol Agencies

Anyone have a list of internet connected agencies in Sevastopol?
The one I tried recently is a waste of time so far. rayoflove.com
As I said in another thead, I don't think they're dishonest but seem to be over their heads with the internet technolgy as many times their site doesn't work very well.
The lady I'm corresponding with was using an agency, don't know the name, that was connected via Anastasia but the agency was not very convenient for her so she switched to this other one so she could send more emails more often. However, I'm convinced this new agency even has issues with their own email system.

I have been corresponding with her via postal as well but too slow and most links to internet cafes I've tried seem to be dead links..

I figure if I had a good list, I could send her a snail mail with the list and see what ones work for her.

No, in all the correspondence, I never thought to ask for a phone number. She doesn't speak well enough for the phone so it just never came up.

Depending on what agency options are available, I might see if someone who speaks russian can contact via phone for me and pass on some options.

Thanks in advance.

I believe Lena (one of the owners of this board) offers a phone call service - normally she focuses on learning about the lady and giving you back her impressions of the lady's character, etc., but I'm sure she'd be happy to also discuss this issue and give you the lady's feedback.

Thanks for the suggestion and perhaps Lena can contact me offline via email and we can discuss options..
Thanks again, Bob

You can use the AFA site. They have an office in Sevastopol. They have an eamil forwarding service, where you send the email, it gets translated, and is delivered to the lady. She can also respond to you through the service. You pay for both the sending and receiving. The service is not to expensive and it is a great way to get things rolling more quickly, ie: her phone number.

If she does not have an internet account, depending on her financial situation you might consider helping her with expenses for an Internet Cafe account. There are several Internet Cafes in Sevastopol. When I was in Sevastopol, I used a computer for about 2 and a half hours and it was less than 3 dollars.

Could you post a list of cafes and addresses? All the ones I've tried via the net all are dead links.

I'd obviously offer to pay for the cafe but so far haven't found one to send her to..

What is the physical address of the AFA office in Sevastopol?



Posted by: mtbclay

You will need to contact AFA in Phoenix. The Sevastopol office is just a satelite office. All of the email forwarding goes through Phoenix. loveme.com . They can provide you with the contact information.

Another suggestion is you might use their search page, I think there is a pretty good chance your lady amy already be registered with AFA. If so this will make contacting her much easier, if you wan to use them.

As for as internet cafes. I do not know addresses, your lady can find one that is close to where she lives. You will need to send her the money then she will be able to pay for it herself. If you are worried about sending money directly to your lady. I am sure that AFA can help you, but you will be paying for the services they provide.

What I'm beginning to suspect is that the number of actual "physical" offices is much less than anyone thinks.
Of course I could be wrong.
Without a physical office, ladies have to find one to join and often, as in this case, it's not very convenient.
As far as internet cafes is concerned, I've been told that many that are listed are now closed and unfortunately, in many cases, took the local agencies with them.
I.E. If the internet provider shuts down so does every web site connected with it. At least on a temporary basis.
I will try your suggestion with a search on AFA and see how that works.
Thanks
Bob

I know for a fact that AFA has an office in Sevastopol, because my GF just picked up flowers from their office on Tuesday.

I am sure that your lady will be able to find an Internet Cafe that is convenient for her to use.
