Are there local access numbers to e-mail family members back home, without long distance charges.

Yes there are several places in town. You can get about 20 minutes at Bonaire Live for $3.20.

Ron,

I am not sure if you meant a connection for your own computer or a for-hire computer connected to the internet. The latter are there as the Zale's said. Not sure about a 'local access telephone number without long distance charges' jack for your own machine.

Likely you need to rent a phone line for where you are staying and then sign up for an ISP like BonaireLive. Or find someone already signed up. Would be a useful service at accommodatons but... If it is for your own, maybe Michael or Jake can comment on availability. The rent-a-machine locations work well if your email service can be worked that way.

AT&T Global Net (http://www.attglobal.net) has a local access number on Bonaire. There may be surcharges for access via this number depending on the type of subscription, and home region, if you are an AT&T Global subscriber. NOTE: This is NOT the same as AT&T World Net which is a consumer oriented ISP service from AT&T.

Jake
