Last minute questions

[mindehankins]

We'll be there Monday!!! We have a couple of last minute questions:
The swine flu problem means that I'm going to need to call my clinic for about 20 minutes a day. Verizon is $1/minute. What's the cheapest way to do this?

Do Conrad Sutton and Cinnamon Bay Campground accept debit cards, or do we need cash for them?
Thanks all!

I do not believe debit cards are accepted at most places on STJ - I have seen many a person being turned down at many places - but again I don't know as I don't own one and only use a credit card.

I used a pay phone at Concordia that was a great deal maybe 5min for $1 or something like that. Not sure where you are staying, this may be a bit out of the way. Also I had a trac phone that I was able to use in many places around the island. These can be picked up pretty cheap at CVS or Walmart, I think I bought one at family dollar before. It's a prepaid phone so no surprise roaming charges. Sometimes it will charge you 2 units per minute instead of one unit, but still very affordable.

Have A great time, you are going to LOVE it.

You can also bring a pre-paid phone card and use the phone in hotel, villa, or a pay phone. Minutes are cheap if you buy in bulk.

Im with Pia...Im pretty sure Conrads doesnt accept them as with CB..one thing we have found as well...Discover isnt accepted as widely either. I would call to make sure...but Im thinking...they do not.

We always take a prepaid calling card so we can call from the villa phone.

Do minutes count the same as here in the continental US?
