Tip to make free calls back home from San Juan

Just a quick post to help out my fellow cruisers:

In preparing for my upcoming cruise I was trying to look into the cheapest way to make calls back to the USA while on the cruise.

I discovered that my regular cell phone plan can be modified for the month during which I will be on my cruise. I will end up with a few less hours for the month, but I will extend my coverage to the entire USA as well as the US Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico.

So, now my wife can call home and check on our kids and talk for an hour if she wants, and the call is free.

Hope that tips works out for some others to help you save some cash.

This is a great tip! I know many cruisers try using cell phone's while in ports of call.. and it can be expensive if your 'roaming' or in a non-us port.

If you have Cingular for your phone service then San Juan and the Virgin Islands are all free calls too. Included with your nationwide long distance service. I was in San Juan in May and believe me I made lots of free calls that week-end.
