My name is Jaime and I've lived in Ojochal and Ballena for the last five years. I wanted to let people know about a new calling service that is available to all of us ex-pats down here in Costa Rica. 40 cent a minute ICE calls made calling the US expensive, and power outages or internet outages made calling via the internet very frustrating and inconvenient. I now represent a US company called DigitalWave that offers international calls for only 2.75 cents a minute! The service allows me to call my family and friends everyday - from my cell phone without paying international rates!
Calls can be made from any Costa Rican phone and it takes only $25 to open an account, of which the entire $25 is applied to your account balance. All your account calling and payment information is available to you online via the Digital Wave Control panel, your credit never expires, and there are no monthly minimums. This service is almost 50% cheaper than the next cheapest competitor in Costa Rica, and provides complete online account access the competitors do not. I'm now setting up a phone number in my home town in the US via this service which can ring directly to my Costa Rica phone or a voice mail box!
Features at a glance:
- No internet required!
- 2.75 cents a minute to the U.S./Canada/Europe
- Web Based control panel
- Online Payment information
- Online Call tracking
- Online Rate lookup
- Credit Card/Paypal Verified payment options
- Caller*ID recognition, eliminating time spent entering access codes
- Speed Dial to more rapidly connect to loved ones
- Dedicated phone numbers in the US/Canada/Costa Rica and Worldwide
- Voicemail box/Voicemail Forwarding to Email
Getting started is easy. A $25 credit card secure payment will open your account and get you back in touch with loved ones. My first $25 lasted me almost 2 months and that was with me calling almost every day. If you're interested in knowing more about the service, or getting started, the marketing website for the service is
