| International calls are done by dialing:
00 + country code + area code + number The most advantageous method to make long-distance calls is either cell phone or the Internet with VoIP. The cost is about equivalent whether you use one method or the other. You can make long-distance calls using VoIP (Voice Over Internet Protocol). Not all VoIP services will work with all Internet connections. Verify these details carefully before committing to a specific Internet service. If you are staying for a short time, you can use an Internet Café or you can rent a cell phone. Paradise Computers offers cell phone rentals for short-term stays. Some Internet Cafés offer international calls, whether through the Internet or with another specialized service. Internet-based calls will not cost more than the regular Intenet rate but you will need an account in your name for the telephone service, for instance Skype. Verify the rates of the other international call services as they may vary substantially. It is interesting to note that whether calling with your cell phone or with Skype, it is cheaper to call Canada and the United States than make local calls.
