Hello Ladies and Gentlemen ( Yes you are included Elmo ),
I have been on here for a little while now and I have not asked a stupid question yet... I am sorry...
Okay.. Here it goes.. If I call a friend in Colombia a lot on her cell phone.. Are there hidden charges for her receiving an International phone call?
Do Colombian cell phone providers have plans like here in North America where you get so many hours a month during the day or are they charged by the hour........
The reason I am asking is that I do not want to give a friend a big cell phone bill...
Most of my calls to her are during the day...
I did a Google search and could find no information about this subject in here............
Jeff

utopiacowboy says on Mar 16, 2005, 10:06: He'd call her and ask her but he doesn't want to saddle her with a big phone bill. My wife and I used to have a lot of fun on the phone when we were apart. Disclaimer: any comment I make is inane and is not to be taken seriously, and is so patently ridiculous that no one should take it seriously, even as an insult. 0 funny, 0 helpful. |

Miguel says on Mar 16, 2005, 10:38: Yeah, good question How about some info? Do they (en colombia) get charged when a gringo calls there? If the information the providers of service in Colombia is as vague as what I get here in the States, who the hell knows, until you get the bill!

fzrdan says on Mar 16, 2005, 10:54: My novia has a Comcel phone in Cali. I call her everyday on that phone and she never gets charged. Like cypher said though, I have to pay more. Normally at least a few cents higher per minute. It is all good for her though. We can talk until her battery dies and as far as she is concerned, it is free.

Miguel says on Mar 16, 2005, 11:01: Right fzrdan Like the song goes..."the best things in life are free" ("Money" by Barrett Strong of Motown)... if it costs me 10 us to talk to her for an hour and a half...no importa. The access and the battery issues need a little work.
