T&VSmith 0 Posted September 1, 2016 Report Share Posted September 1, 2016 Yes, I get calls from Canada to my cell phone quite often. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Squigglesrus 0 Posted September 1, 2016 Report Share Posted September 1, 2016 Absolutely! My kids know to call us on our CR cells if they urgently need something (as opposed to txt, VoIP phones, email, FaceTime, etc...). Process is easy - dial - 011-506-1234-5678 (011 means "international call, 506 is CR country code and remainder is your CR phone number.) Not sure of the cost, but certainly doable!!

missy 0 Posted September 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2016 Do you have Kolbi, Movistar or Claro? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
T&VSmith 0 Posted September 1, 2016 Report Share Posted September 1, 2016 We have had both Movistar and ICE but in our area Movistar did not function well at all. I regularly call and receive calls from Canada on my cell phone. I have two "business" neighbors that talk from the USA regularly. We use Skype or Majic Jack if possible but there are many direct calls on our cell phones. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Squigglesrus 0 Posted September 1, 2016 Report Share Posted September 1, 2016 We have Kolbi service and works great in our area (Puriscal.) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

lucybelle 0 Posted September 3, 2016 Report Share Posted September 3, 2016 My esposo calls home frequently to cell phones and landlines using Skype mostly, which charges per minute. He also uses Whatsapp to make free phone calls to his sister and others who can figure out the app! Haha Quote Link to post Share on other sites
