What is the BEST way to call the U.S. from Aruba?
Do not want to rent a cell phone.
Have used Setar calling cards in the past which work just fine, but wondering if anyone had any other options that they have used?
Leaving Friday for two glorious weeks........can't wait to return!!

The easiest way is to buy a calling card once you are there and use it to call home. If you are staying up by the highrise hotels there is a little kiosk by Salt and Pepper that sells cards. Buy one for $5 and you get 20minutes.(it is a Setar card)..then simply walk around the corner beside Aqua Grill to the Setar phone banks and follow the directions to call home. You can while there replentish that card or just buy a new one.
I am not sure how much you will need to call home....we usually just call home once or twice during our stay to check in on my mom and make sure all is well. That card works perfectly for that reason.....Hope this helps.

Google: Skype.Join skype Phone calls to the USA cost 2.1 cents a min. You need a computer inplace of a phone. The Skype tells you all the details and its user friendly.
