Why do you need skype if you only use your cell phone to make calls? Would calls to and from your cell phone look the same as any call you made in the states?

You are right regarding the caller ID, the difference is $$. Instead of spending $1.95 a minute with the AT@T international plan (In my case), I only have to pay $ 0.024 a minute when I call back to the States with Skype. The only problem is that you need a WiFi hotspot.

Junky I have Skype in my iphone and it works pretty good for me when I am in Costa Rica, I am sure you can also use other smartphones like the Blackberry
unfortunately most of the blackberry phones dont have wifi hotspot ability


The BB Curve 8900 does. I use mine every time I go to SJ.

As a matter of fact, you don't even need Skype or equivalent -- the Curve lets you make calls using UMA over Wifi. No fuss, no set up, Caller ID shows your cell phone number, and best of all -- no international roaming rates.

When I am in Costa Rica I use majic jack. Cost is $19.95 a year and the person you are calling has no idea where you are.

Just remember that all the "I Spy" bullshit won't make any difference. She knows.....

Don’t be surprised when you come home earlier than expected and find she might be doing the same.

Yes, please call from the airport when you arrive home so your wife can get Steven1 out of the house before you get there. Otherwise things could get a bit embarassing!

Once again, Pacifica55 is correct.

Not only does she know, but she's figuring out how to use that knowledge. :twisted:

Here's a novel idea: Marry a woman with whom you can be completely honest. :idea:

I will be married 21 years this coming August 20, four days before I leave for C.R. Mrs. Ciego knows where I stay, has the phone numbers, knows my itinerary and the names of my closest friends in CRT. She also knows why I make my annual pilgramage to the land of leche y miel. :D it is something we have honestly negotiated. :D

I lie badly. Another thing: Lying is too much damn work.

I'll be making my sixth trip in five years this coming August. I'll have over 180 days in country at the end of this trip. Mrs. Ciego knows all; bless her for her kindness and patience with her whoremongering hubby. :D
