Rates within Ukraine changed to hryvnia 24.12.2008
Starting 23.12.2008 and onward the rate of SMS-messages, sent from mobile phones connected to Ukraine mobile carriers as well as the partners' payouts based on SMS-messages sent from Ukraine was changed to Ukraine national currency – hryvnia. Thus, we have fulfilled our commitment towards mobile carriers of this country which is to provide end-users with most accurate information regarding the cost of SMS-messages sent.
Besides, this measure allowed us to solve the problem with hryvnia exchange rate instability as oppose to other currencies which caused us to loose substantial share of revenues. Please note that due to severe hryvnia depreciation, the rates won't be similar to those you got used to at the moment of hryvnia to dollar conversion. Currently, the highest rate – 25 hryvnia (including VAT) worth approximately 2.64 US Dollars as oppose to previously known 4.75 US Dollars. Partners' payouts will be calculated the same as in other countries – based on dollar exchange rate (if paid to WebMoney – Z- account) or ruble exchange rate (if paid to WebMoney – R- account) on the day of payment.
We have increased partners' share percentage for SMS-messages sent from Ukraine as a means of compensation for unfortunate consequences of crisis in Ukraine characterized by the loss of convenient rate equals 5 standard units.
