Calling home from Jamaica ?

Last time we were in Negril we turned on the International option on our phone plans, however, coverage was very spotty.  This time we have a 1-year old at home that we'll want to call and talk to/about so we need dependable service.  I'm guessing our best option is a calling card?  I know nothing about this, so I'm curious if there is a certain one to buy or any helpful hints would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Re: Calling home from Jamaica ?

  • I used the hotel phone with was expensive but worth it for me to make a few calls.  You might be able to get a calling card once you are there but I'd look at them here too.  You might be able to get a better rate here with just an international card.

  • Do you have skype?  I recommend that you download skype.  We skyped with our family (and son) from Jamaica every night and it worked well.

  • 3rd vote for Skype. You can also facetime, if you have apple products with you and at home.

    We've skyped and facetimed to the South Pacific, and if the internet connection is good, it works out really well.

  • Unfortunately, Skype isn't an option being that the in-laws are completely clueless when it comes to computers :-(  Thanks though.  Guess we'll look into calling cards.

  • Try to set it up for them before you leave.  They basically turn their computer on and it will ring like a phone.  My mom is the most clueless person I've ever met when it comes to computers and even she can do it.
