El Salvador: Keeping InTouch With the World
Here in El Salvador there are several ways that I keep in touch with family and friends in the U.S. and Canada. I use Magicjack that I purchased in the U.S. before coming over and set it up with a U.S. phone number, so I can make calls to the U.S. and Canada through the internet with no fee other than the yearly fee that Magicjack charges. I think that anyone retiring or traveling overseas should use this.
I also use email, which I would think everyone living or traveling overseas would use.
There are many options for a Mobil phone here in El Salvador, I use Movistar, because this is the one that we get the best reception from here in Cara Sucia. Movistar offers a plan of 150 minutes to the U.S. and Canada for $3.00, but you must use it in 10 days from purchase, which is no problem for me.
I also use messenger on Facebook and I use Skype, so there are many options that we use here in El Salvador to keep in touch with the rest of the world.
