My wife and I will be staying on Bonaire Jan and Feb 2009. I was there Nov 07 and seem to remember one of our group buying a disposable cell phone from "Chat and Browse"? to use while she was there.

Dan..Another option to consider if you have a laptop & internet connection is to use Skype.

Vince, good point, we use Skype on island too! Did you know they have a Skype phone that is like a cell phone and you can get a phone number assigned to it? Yeah, pretty cool. I love the freedom from headphones now when on Skype.

Are there Bonaire local numbers available through Skype? Might have to order pizza delivery once in a while

yes bonaire #s can be reached, however it is about 20 US cents a call to the a local number, about the same as a cell phone call.

Debbie.. As an FYI I purchased a local # in north Jersey & have it programed to ring our landline phone in the condo. This way anyone "back home" can call us when we're on island for no charge. If it's going to be a long call, we have an unlimited calling plan to the US. We just call them back on Skype, talk as long as you want & only about $20 a year if memory serves me correctly!

Vince, we have it too. It's like for folks to call us from the states on the skype phone number, it is just like they were calling us at home. If we call them, it is like you said, and yes, we program the landline phone and the skype phone together, so all one phone. Love the cordless skype phone. I know there is a separate rate for having a skype phone number, then whatever plan you want with skype. Even if you don't do a plan, you can just get minutes and pay like 2 cents a minute,either way, it's great.
