I just noticed that a call that Roy made for 85 minutes was $21.00 -- I am on the phone with them right now cancelling......he told me that the rates went up within the last two weeks and they can change at any moment WITHOUT notifying their customers......

Anyone have any other great rates???

Why isn't everyone using some sort of VOIP to save on calls? That's what I use and I talk to thousands of

minutes per month for only $25.00.

Because the majority of people in Jamaica don't have internet access...especially not unlimited access.

We use Sprint pre-paid phone card at a rate of about $0.18 a minute. I like it a lot because you can use it for any and all long distance so we cancelled it and just use the calling card for everything. I don't think I would like one that automatically added minutes when my balance was low...I would have gone even more broke than I already was. My only saving grace sometimes was that you could only add to your card once ever 24 hours...trust me there was plenty times I was waiting down the hours and minutes :whistle:

I happen to like Pinzoo.com, they have rates starting at 13.6 cents. They are not always the cheapest but the connections are good. Several different cards available dependent on you calling pattern and length of each call.

YMMV

We never really had a problem with the "re-charging" -- DAH -- I only signed up for IDT about a month before Roy got here.....

yes but they charge you a dollar each week for this price. Thank goodness only a few months to go and we talk IM more often than phone lately.
