photomuggle Posted January 28, 2011 #1 Share Posted January 28, 2011 While on shore at Grand Cayman, does anyone have any experience with placing calls to US (or other countries) from a landline phone? If it's a US toll-free number, is it free? Are calling cards easy to purchase? TIA! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drew sailbum Posted January 28, 2011 #2 Share Posted January 28, 2011 With rare exception, US toll free numbers are not free from Cayman. Time is billed at full international rates. The best option is to use a Skype enabled phone near an internet hot spot and be sure you are calling using Skype and not cell. A Skype phone can call toll free US numbers for free.

photomuggle Posted January 28, 2011 Author #3 Share Posted January 28, 2011 Appreciate the info, Drew. Don't have Skype (or a Skype-enabled smartphone) now, but will look into creating a Skype account. Sounds like it might be possible to use the laptop to place VOIP phone calls?

patseacruiser Posted January 28, 2011 #4 Share Posted January 28, 2011 Yes you can skype from your laptop at a wireless cafe. Also, if you get off early enough there was a place right on the pier that had phone rentals for $5 and could call US for 20 minutes for $10 I think it was.
