Nhhank:

The dial around Tel3Advantage, which is a CRT affiliated (via advertising) thingy is GREAT. It is 7.6¢ per minute to a CR cell phone.

The way the system works is as follows:

Determine if there is a local access number. Frankly, I'm going to bet there is not where you are....but I could be wrong. That's not that big a deal....because if there is no access number, you dial Tel3's 800 number. After all the PINS are put in, you then dial your number in Costa Rica or anywhere you want for that matter. Two access numbers I found are: 1 - 603 - 3696174 and 1 - 603 - 4353186. There may be more....you'll have to check using your actual phone number. Anyway....even if you don't have a local access number, you can use their 1800# (that DOES increase the cost of the call to 8.6¢ per min) http://www.tel3advantage.com

or....many have had very good luck with http://www.jupitercard.net/ . Rates to CR are 6.5¢ to a CR cell and 4.5¢ to a landline.

I have used this card in the past but their voice quality isn't great at times and sometimes it can't connect.

I don't call often, but I use Bizon card now. It's about 6.5¢ a minute (landline & cell numbers) and much better quality and connection. And weekly/monthly maintenance fee (this is the equivalnet of a chica fee )

I also use tel3...great service, great price...great way to keep in touch with the chicas for return trips........hopefully this comment was useful to you

hospitals are full of people....i'm sure if Crackerass, NHHank or Admin, felt it necessary to make a post, they would have......hopefully it is an inside joke, and not as insiduos as the Florida's death debacle

Thank you Loco H
Most helpfull of you
I will PM Admin 1 and thank him for letting out of time out
Did you have to go to safe posting classes

Not to sound like a total jackass....buttttt
You can still get dial-up? I thought it was an obsolete thing these days?

I have the functional equivalent of dial-up which is a wireless modem (essentially a cell phone) so I can relate to the Brother. Can't watch videos straight through--I have to pause them til a buffer fills up. Real pain in the ass, but the price I pay for mobility.
