Overseas Phone Call

Aug 08, 2007 00:15

So my Dad is currently in Spain doing stuff for work and has a satellite phone that costs him over $1 a minute to talk on. So he called my brother and I the other day and we each talked to him for a few minutes. There was like a second in delay between what we said (latency for network geeks) His hotel doesn't have a phone in it so he couldn't pay ( Read more... )

Your dad's hotel room doesn't have a phone? How barbaric.

I know, it's terrible I can't believe it.

When I was in Punta Cana, I made two phone calls and I had to do it from a pay phone to call my medical insurance in which toll free numbers do not work from that country. My calling card would not work, so I had no choice and use my credit card. In two phone calls I did not talk more then 15 minutes. When I got my credit card statement; the bill came out to close to $80.00 US Funds. Lucky my insurance company paid for it.

Wow, that's pretty expensive.

By the way who are you, I don't recognize your LJ name?

Just sometimes saw you on my friend LJ and I always wanted to comment, but didn't know what to say until now. :)
