Senegal is at country code 221, and even on my Vonage account, it's
$0.20 per minute (by comparison, the UK is $0.02, Germany is $0.03).
There is no "900" type charge, though.

If anyone wants to yank his chain, I might be able to be convinced to
set up the call.

Dear Jack,
thanks for saying your mind. But let me get it very clear.
You are not going to be able to help me and my family , because you
can
not
make international calls? or you jus can not help.
Waiting for clearification.
Regards,
SAMSON.

hi samson,

i would like to help, but i can not call out to international numbers
on this payphone, it is my only way to communicate with you if you
wish to use the phone. i am willing to work with you by waiting by
the phone, but that is what i can do to talk to you on the phone.

i want to help you and your mom, but the phone presents a difficult
hurdle,

as with hurdles they can be overcome, but it takes determination.

take care,
jack

up the forms?
i have contacted phillip and he said he would be willing to do it.....
why do you change your mind? please justify this....

(WE WILL SEE WHAT SAMSON COMES UP WITH, I DONT THINK HE EXPECTED ME TO
COME BACK SAYING I KNEW A LAWYER)

jacks reply to him......
hi samson,

you are not answering my question,

again, why did you say i could get a lawyer over here to do it, and
then retract the statement later after giving me addl instructions for
the lawyer?

i dont like this thinking you have, from the sounds of it, you already
knew of the lawyer in your country, but gave me the option to use one
here....

that is going back on your word, not good for a business
transaction.......



please reply to me why you said what you said and then changed it, and
not some skate around the reason comment either. i wish to have a
direct reason.

samsons reply.....Wed, 05 May 2004 22:15:54 +0000

Dear Jack,
we are gething no where by runing about the bush.
I requested that you provide a lawyer if you can.
You said you can and on discussing what the terms should like like
with
my
mother, she decided to have a chat with a confidencial christain
mother
who
always assists us. THe woman advised that we should use a local lawye
here
who we can locate, after we are here and likewise the stones.No need
using a
lawyer from the states since it can be done localy.

THe draft will be sent for your sturdy before signatures.
The earlier you send the consultation fee, the better for us as we
have
no
time to lose.
GOD BLESS.
SAMSON.

my reply to samson...Thu, 6 May 2004 16:49:04 -0700 (PDT)

hi samson,
i donot trust your word now, you told me i could do one thing, then
backed out.

sorry samson, i am a business man, and you dont go back on your word,
it is bad business practice.
i was potentially going to send you certain thousands of dollars as
an investment, but i can not trust your word now.
i dont think i can continue helping you now....

you should not have offered what you did only to change your mind
after i communicated with you that i knew a lawyer....
you said
"If you have a lawyer friend ,it will cost us nothing to draft the
contarct
pappers, or you can get a lawyer over there because it will cost up to
$150
dollar to draft it here."
