Ok guys had a great first trip down. I'd like to go down more often, but will need to have a phone down there to stay connected and complete sales. So I've got a question that internet searches haven't answered.
If I have VOIP service on my laptop and I book a room with wifi... will I be able to accept calls in my hotel room in Costa Rica from the United States (of course using my US number)?
Probably a hard question, but I hope somebody out there has the answer.

Actually there are quite a few threads on the topic. Do a search for Magic Jack and you'll see.
Personally, I've used both my company's Avaya VoiP client and Skype to make and receive phone calls while at the hotel (SL). I've also used my Blackberry to make UMA over WIFI calls (at no cost
) to to States.
Quality is spotty, though. It's hit or miss whether you get a solid connection or not (at least at the place I stayed).
