Kelly C Posted April 22, 2007 Report Share Posted April 22, 2007 :-? How did you call family and friends to let them know you were all right after your surgery? I plan to take my cell phone with but, will I need an international calling card? I hope I won't have a problem call my husband or my parent's back in the States. What did you do? Kelly C.

To be banded 4/26/07 Kelly, Once your in your private room you can make free calls. I did not know this and spent $10.00 at the hotel. Also you can use your cell phone. Our NEXTEL phones did NOT work but other cell services did. Good Luck, Sue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaelin's G-Ma Posted April 22, 2007 Report Share Posted April 22, 2007 I bought a phone card but never used it. my cell worked fine (verizon) but it was a little expensive. The dr's office let us make and recieve calls anytime for free. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was hoping it wouldn't be a problem. I have to work tonight and Monday night. I have been working so much overtime, that I haven't really thought about much. I'll have all day Tues. to think about it and pack. I fly out very early Wed. (7 am.) from Tampa. I'm going by myself! I'll be ok. Thank you again for the info. Kelly C.

To be banded 4/26/07 All of my calls showed up on my bill as being out of Chula Vista -- so if you have coast-to-coast service, you should be OK.
