Calling Cards and Cell Phones

We've had several customers ask us if our phones work with calling cards, and if this might save them on the long distance rate. A few people have mentioned that some other companies claim to offer calling cards to make more affordable calls than the rates we offer. Although we are not fans of dialing 37 access numbers to make a call ourselves, our phones do work with calling cards. Most of the companies offering this service have Internationally blocked phones, so you do not have a choice in how to place a call to the US or where ever in the world you are calling to.
We advise customers, whether you plan on renting a Costa Rica Cellular Connection phone or not, to watch out for the fees involved in addition to the quoted rates on calling cards. Often times you will find that you are paying the local calling rate, plus the calling card rate to the your home country, plus an often unadvertised one time per call access fee. This adds up to people spending 10 minutes dialing for rates that are often higher then making the call directly.

Far less expensive than our competitors, including other cellular rental companies in Costa Rica, car rental companies, calling cards, and hotel phones.
