Has anybody else had problems calling CR in the past few days? I have had a lot of trouble connecting, using 2 different calling cards. It may be something with the lines.

I have had problems about 80% of the time over the past couple of months using calling cards and both cell & land-line phones. This is pissing me off!

I called customer service and was told they are having problems with the lines to CR "because of a change of carrier". Direct quote, whatever it means.

I used pingo for about eight months and have had sporatic problems. Whenever I kept getting the recording all lines are busy I would then dial direct. When I dialed direct I always got right through. This leads me to belive the problem is with pingo. Maybe their equipment has limited capacity and during peak usage they cannot accomadate all the callers. I would say that overall pingo is good but, can be a real pain in the a$$ when you can't get through for hours.

I have since installed high speed internet in CR and am using Vonage here and there. No problems for three months and perfect clarity, increased volume and I can talk 24/7 for twenty five bucks a month. :D

Sorry Berk, I can't. I am one of those guys who loves the bartenders. Besides, I am going down there to salvage my recent relationship....Hopefully. This trip is not a poosie run for me.

I've called CR (from my cell phone - A.T. & T.) every day - over the past few days - with no problems. I've called my partner on the office landline, I've called him on his cell phone, and I've called 2 different chica's on their cell phones. I haven't encountered any problems at all.

I can understand Orange's trying to call CR repeatedly since he is marrying a Tica in the near future. As for the rest of you...what's so urgent that you keep calling? Could it be that "Love is in the air".... My suggestion,as always,is to save the time and agravation and just SEND HER THE MONEY. She REALLY doesn't NEED to talk to you, Gringo.
