Isn't it $1.99 to call from the phone in your room?

:) I just reread what I typed and now can see how you had this question.

a more clear explanation might help LOL.

The internet package being $40 and the call from the room rate of 1.99 per minute could equal out to the same price of $40 for 20 minutes of call time.

If we use the internet package = $40 for unlimited internet calls through Skype longer and more frequent I think we would get more "bang" for our buck so to speak and the confidence we don't have to time calls home on the phone to avoid having an astronomical phone bill.

It seems as though the unlimited internet might be a better choice if we can use Skype if not I am thinking just calling home once or twice and limiting the time on the phone will be the option we choose.

Isn't it $1.99 to call from the phone in your room?

Yes, per minute .... which would equal 40$ for 20 minutes of call time throughout the week.

If I had an unlimited internet connection($40 package) which I could Skype with them for a few minutes each day I likely could get more time to chat with them not leaving me feeling like I rushed them off the phone so as to not accumulate minutes and not know how much each call is costing me till I take a look at my S&S Account. I dont mind paying to communicate with them I just want to find the most affordable and effective method.

Has anyone tried using Skype ?? Which package would be better for use with Skype ?

I am leaving children at home on our vacation and am looking at ways to communicate with them at home and which ones would be the most affordable, so far the cost of using our cell phones is out the fee is astronomical for one week ! We are from Canada if this has any input into internet use on board.

I was thinking of setting up phone times to call the kids a few times durring the week but 20 minutes on the phone over the course of the week will come inline to the internet at 39.99.... Its 1.99 per minute, and I am not even sure if that includes calling to Canada or just calls to the US.

Any input is appreciated.
