Velvet Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 Russia has cut ties with the outside world. I've been trying to send a fax to St. Petersburg for 13 hours now and I just called the operator for help. She couldn't get through to any line...She couldn't even get the Russian operator on the line! I was told by my surprised-sounding operator that phone communique with Russia is currently impossible, whereas she says it is usually (formerly?) no trouble at all to call/fax Russia.Is the sky falling?

Guest Low Roller Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 The gas lines and phone lines are probably somehow related...Current event zinger! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bradm Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 I have a colleague who's Russian, and asked him if he knew of any problems; he didn't. He uses an alternate provider for calls to Russia (he phones a # in Toronto, which then connects him over their own network), and he successfully called St. Petersburg while I was standing there waiting. The service he uses doesn't handle faxes, though.Aloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Velvet Posted May 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 Well, I think the difficulties I've been having may have been fortuitous. I just got an email regarding the Rolling Stones...They've had to reschedule their European tour, including a date in St. Petersburg. The new dates will be announced soon so maybe I'll have to adjust my arrival date anyway! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
