Some day I will get around to Skype - it seems the best way to go. However, to get back to cell phone use in Aruba. Yes, the "deal" is for you calling the states from Aruba. No deal for those calling from states to you. But if my family absolutely had to reach us, they could call our Aruban cell and we would just call them right back. So they would only pay for the initial minute or so. Still a very good deal.

Of course, the ideal situation is no one having to call you on vacation. We really just have one because of elderly parents, etc. and the chance of emergency only! Most times, the only times we use our Aruban cell is to call local friends, and MOST important, to make dinner reservations without having to leave the beach or pool, lol.
