If you get in trouble, there will be someone there to help you. And they'll really go out of their way too.<BR/><BR/>Also, I don't know if you're renting a car, but our rental place gave us the option of renting a cell phone for the duration of our stay. We meant to take them up on it and then forgot (never ended up needing it, fortunately). <BR/><BR/>Also, Costa Rica rocks and I am so stinkin jealous!TheMoncurshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02740568450614233883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10937001.post-76280057698619726892007-11-02T10:05:00.000-06:002007-11-02T10:05:00.000-06:00Anon, I asked about a prepaid phone, but they don'...Anon, I asked about a prepaid phone, but they don't receive service internationally. Anyway. We'll have Murray's phone with us; we just will never turn it on unless we have a real emergency. And then we gave the neighbor's number to our parents because there's no phone in our condo. So we'll be just fine, and it will be nice to have no phones.Cicadahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14992280321382438701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10937001.post-7856043999475024902007-11-02T08:39:00.000-06:002007-11-02T08:39:00.000-06:00What about buying a prepaid cell phone or even a t...What about buying a prepaid cell phone or even a throw away cell phone? <BR/><BR/>I don't know all of the rules or the costs that could drain it, but at least then you would know exactly what your bill would be.<BR/><BR/>Example - last year we bought a T-mobile to go phone. $60. It came with $10 credit for minutes. When you activate it you can put more minutes on it. You pay it all up front and when its gone, its gone (although you could always call and add more minutes if you needed to.)<BR/><BR/>I don't know anything about throw away cell phones, but that is another option.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, my point is that if you really want a cell phone for emergencies, you don't have to go with what you already have.<BR/><BR/>$4000 cell phone bill, That scares me to death.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10937001.post-91805743347333126072007-11-02T08:09:00.000-06:002007-11-02T08:09:00.000-06:00Sounds like Comcast, nobody at customer service kn...Sounds like Comcast, nobody at customer service knows anything. On our honeymoon cruise, our phones didn't work on the ship and I do have to agree with some of the comments that it is quite nice. We wonder how people ever lived without cell phones, somehow there must have been a way.Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06325285454048134101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10937001.post-48345413773538743792007-11-01T22:00:00.000-06:002007-11-01T22:00:00.000-06:00This sounds like a ruse to have as few interruptio...This sounds like a ruse to have as few interruptions as possible while enjoying your honeymoon.

Costa Ricans are awesome like that. <BR/><BR/>Once, the car I was riding in got TWO FLAT TIRES in the middle of the night on a pothole-ridden highway that traversed a Costa Rican jungle. A trucker pulled over to help us change the tire, followed us to make sure we were safe, changed the tire a second time and again followed us to the next town where we could purchase two new tires. We got to the town mechanic's home at nearly 10 pm and he was more than happy to help us with tires. He also invited us in to eat some dinner and look at his family's photo albums. I'm not kidding. <BR/><BR/>I don't know what to tell you about iPhones, but I do know that you couldn't have picked a better place to go on your honeymoon.
