[QUOTE=Vics Picks]I use Pingo for calling CR and just picked up Magic Jack for my laptop. My question is when I am in CR can I use magic jack to call CR,via pingo? The reason I would want to do that is it would mask where I was calling from plus I could call from my room and all my numbers are already programed in Pingo. I think it would also be cheaper than using a local cell phone.
Has anyone done this?
thanks in advance for any input[/QUOTE]

Yes I can use Magic to call to Costa Rica when I am there and it works. It costs for the call, but it comes out as my USA number.
On another note calls to and from the USA while in CR are free . All you need is an internet connection.

Hi guys,

I did a bit of searching but couldn't come to a conclusion on this. I'm planning to visit CR in about 3 weeks but I am supposed to be in Guanacaste because of the beaches and won't be near San Jose. Is that a bad play or is there still alot of fun to be had in Guanacaste? Please let me know if I should bail on the trip.

Thanks for any advice.

DS[/QUOTE]I stayed at the Paradisus in Playa Conchal a few times. There is a little disco in Brasilito a small town near the resort. If you speak spanish you can find something there. Or grab a taxi guy and ask him to get you a girl . Lastly, you can go to Liberia, 30 minutes or so from the beach to get a girl.

I wasn't sure if there was action to be had on that side of the country but things are looking positive now.

Thanks again.

Thanks

Check your PM, I sent you a response

Hey guys,

Hope you can solve a little problem for me. I am going to cr and will be using my att cell phone there (international network). I do not want any one to know that I'm outside USA. Problem is. Last time I went to cr, when I was not using the phone, somehow, a recording in spanish was heard by the callers.

Has anyone used their current cell phones in cr? Any tips? Please advise.

Thanks

FYI -

Last visit to CR - I was there working for 90 days and I had a local CR rental phone provided by my employer, and was told that all US based cell phones would not work in Costa Rica....since they have their own cell phone network there.

I was under the impression that most if not all - US cell phones would not work at all in Costa Rica.
Is this correct or am I missing something ???????

Have used my ATT world phone in CR.

You need international service on your plan.

I am looking for pointers to Costa Rica in San Jose a good place to meet some hot women and have fun with friends.

Is the Blue Marlin and Key Largo the best place to pick up women

Also what hotels would you recommend to stay that are good and women friendly

I have used my att phone in cr before. I did have the international service on. The problem is. A couple of times when the caller was not able to connect. They heard a message in spanish. I am trying to figure out if there is a way arount it.

Thanks guys.

...not that I know of. Same thing happens in every Latin American country I've been to & sometimes they get a French recording when I'm in Toronto. That's why when I 'say' I'm going to Toronto & don't want to talk to the wife I never turn the damned thing on.

I have tried travelocity and priceline and can't find lodgings offered at either place, and it would be a great way to save money, if either offer a package deal. It looks like I am going to go in October, my first time and I am excited.

The travel sites like Travelocity/Priceline/Expedia do not offer flight/hotel packages for monger hotels, its only family orienated hotels that are put up for package deals. You have to go to their web sites to book a room.

Also its spelled Del Rey

I have just completed my plans to take 4 weeks of Spanish lessons at Costa Rican Language Academy (CRLA) in San Pedro, a suburb on the east side of San Jose. The school is near Mall San Pedro and the University of Costa Rica. So far I have been pleased with this school. They have spent a lot of time on the phone with me answering my questions. They helped me find a place to stay, and they are going to meet me at the airport (no extra charge). This school seems to be a little more focussed on academics than the mostly vacation-oriented schools that are numerous in CR, and I am fairly impressed with the pre-test that they have already asked me to complete. If anyone has any experience, good or bad, with this school, please post a response.

Hopefully, I'll be able to spend a weekend or two at Sportsmens Lodge. Should be great for practicing mi español.
