On the welcome page, select the option Postpaid Users, Prepaid Card or Pay & Surf A mistake I made is calling local #'s in Aruba from Skype. I many many calls in the month I was there and still had credit ($) left over. That is how much I put in my account last April. I think the least Skype credits you can buy is $10. I didn't know about the $2.99 a month subscription. You then pay with your credit card for the amount of time you want to buy.

When open your browser and the internet service provider will be pop up on your screen or if not, go to start menu and 'connect to'. I personally buy the wi-fi card as I was told by a few locals that it is better to do it that way. You don't have to buy the wi-fi card anymore, though they still sell the cards. Now we have Setar.Ī few years ago, you would have to buy a wi-fi card and enter into the number on the card to get internet service. At the Aruban (now Tropicana) we used to have Aruba Wireless. Most resorts use the company Setar which is $10 day, $35 week or $70 month. I believe in the Hi Rise area the espresso cafe in South Beach Centre (opposite The Lazy Lizard) offers free WiFi?ĭanadog - Unless where you are staying has free Wi-Fi internet you have to pay for internet service before using Skype. If your hotel/timeshare does not have free or cheap internet access several places in Aruba have free WiFi. Hence, for two weeks this month I called work numbers, home numbers and cells phones in the USA for a flat $2.99 and canceled the Skype subscription when I return home. Purchasing Skype credits is not required.Įxample: The Marriott Ocean Club and Surf Club both have free internet access in the rooms. Have I finally gotten it or am I still a neandrothal ?Ģ) Purchase a subscription for unlimited calling to any USA Land Phone Number or Cell Phone Number for $2.99 per month. And the skype credits are what ? Do I have to buy those also and if so what is the cost involved in that ?Īndrea, so if I use skype to call home from a wifi area in aruba it wont cost me anything? If the person I am calling to has skype also.but if not and I call the cell phone from my laptop then I need to have skype credits that I prepay in advance. Okay then, so I go online into my skype account, pay for and unlimited call subscription to usa from aruba and the cost is only 2.99.
