The rate to call to a US landline is $.09 & to a US cell phone is $.18 with Scarlet but you have to have a Telcell phone or Telem landline in order to use their calling cards. I also believe that if you are using them through a resort landline you will be charged the resorts rate on top of the calling card rate. Most resorts charge anywhere from $.25 to $.75 per minute for a local call. My r

Well I got to Granduca on Friday night & it was very good. The restaurant decor is absolutely beautiful being very trendy & upscale with not a lot of stuff around. Enzo looked good but very tired since he is pretty much doing it all himself whereas with LaRosa it was his father, his mother & himself. The menu is really nice & varied with about 12 to 15 pasta dishes,10 or 12 m

My best advice is to look into Slingbox & Slingcatcher for your TV's in SXM. Go to Slingmedia & get all of the info. Using them allows you to watch your US cable TV legally as long as you have high speed internet in both locations. I use it here in SXM & I watch my Cablevision from NY including using the DVR feature of the box I have hooked up to the SlingBox. The only costs

Hey Barbara, Were you there for the opening? I have been watching the papers for an announcement but either it wasn't there or I overlooked it.

You can use anyone's cable in the US but I would suggest that your daughter get an extra box because you will be controlling the box from your computer so if you were both using the same box you would be changing the channels on each other. Usually an extra box costs around $2.00 to $5.00 a month depending on the cable company. The cost for the extra box would be your only expense except f

Yes Barbara the Slingbox works pretty good & I only have the medium speed from Telnet so I am going to go to the fastest speed & then it will be perfect. It is hooked up to one of my cable boxes in the US & I get all of my channels from there including the guide, info just as if I was there watching it. You need to have someone in the states that has cable so that you can hook up to o
