Hi all!
I'm moving to stgo in 31 days! I will be there for a year as a volunteer on a TIGHT budget. Your forums have been extremely helpful in the planning process. I have a 2 questions that I would like some input. I apologize if these questions are duplicates from other posts. I have read through this post (http://www.dr1.com/forums/living/122002-claro-stick.html) but still did not find the answer.
1. Internet service/phone calls to the states - I would like to use Skype to call home. My family is a little worried and I would like to call regularly (once a week or so). How much is the 3gb/5gb stick? Does Claro and Orange both offer this stick? Is it MAC compatible?
2. Cell phone-- I have Sprint US service which is useless abroad. I think I will go with a prepaid phone for local calls. Any tips? Best provider? What is a rough estimate of costs-- I have 500RD budgeted a month.
Thanks for any help you can provide!
Peace to all!
