If you prepay you have three choices: 50¢ per minute which is $50 for 100 minutes, 40¢ per minute which is 250 minutes, or 30¢ per minute which is $150 for 500 minutes. If you do not prepay, or you run over your purchased minutes then is is 75¢ per minute.

And phone is pretty bad too. Ship to Shore is over $6.00 per minute. According to Sprint, which I have, if I used my cell phone on board ship with the ship's satellite link it would have been $2.99 per minute while at sea. When we were docked in St. Maarten it would have used the local carrier at $1.99 per minute, but at least when in St Thomas, since it was US territory and I have a nationwide roaming plan there would have been no costs.

Indeed not. There's only about one idiot per million guests.

Of course, that means most of us see about three a week....

Whoops, you got us on a very busy week. Sorry about the delay from the MWC. You won't be compensated, so a sorry will have to do. Now, let's get down to business:

The Marsupial Welcoming Committee would like to cordially :welcome: you to :sgt: ! You are hereby required to enjoy your time with us, by ordinance of :wombat: and :wallaby: . And yes, one of us is a lawyer, so he can enforce it. The other is a Cast Member and if you stop by my attraction with your current attitude and make yourself known to me, I will do what I can to make sure you have a great time with us.

I was Buenos Aires on business. The international phone rates were so bad that my phone bill was higher than the hotel bill. I used Skype for the first time in November. It costs $.021 per minute and, other than some latency, is great!

Yes you should. Why don't you? We are waiting. :twisted: :D:

Unless you are working at PI at closing and then you see 1,000,000 idiots to 1 non-SG.
