Dunner Posted February 27, 2014 #1 Share Posted February 27, 2014 What have you found to be the cheapest way to call to Canada while in the port of St Martin? Is there somewhere where you can go and have someone dial and you pay them for the number of minutes you use? I did that in one port many years ago. Or any other ideas are welcome. Will be calling my 85 year old mom. so Skype and anything technical is out of the question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toomuchsnow Posted February 28, 2014 #2 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Talk to the guy that owns The CandyStore. He's Canadian and asked us if we needed to call home we could use his phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunner Posted February 28, 2014 Author #3 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Could you give me directions to The Candy Store? If he is still willing to let his phone be used that would be awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toomuchsnow Posted February 28, 2014 #4 Share Posted February 28, 2014 He's at the beginning of the boardwalk. Same end as the ship. You can't miss it. Bright rainbow colour, stand alone building. If you walk or water taxi from ship you will walk right past it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Call_me_ishmael Posted February 28, 2014 #5 Share Posted February 28, 2014 I use SkypeOut, it lets you dial any normal telephone from your smartphone and use the internet to connect. It just looks like a normal telephone call to the person you are calling and it rings ther home phone. You need a smart phone like an IPhone or an Android phone that can run Skype and you just connect to WiFi in St Maarten and dial your Mother's telephone number from Skype and go. Works great and costs about 5c/minute from anywere. I run a business in SXM and call home to Canada all the time with it. Let me know if you need anymore info, it is a great service and you can use it anywhere there is WiFi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
