BLOCKED INTERNATIONAL CALLS - Why Can't I Call Internationally or People Internationally Call Me

MANY a landlord has had a tenant move out and 2-3 months later when the phone bill arrived - were shocked by the $500-$1,000+ phone bill they left behind.  So if you're renting, a SMART landlord will BLOCK you from being able to make international calls (a SMART thing to do if one rents their house out).

BUT, what that ALSO means is that it ALSO BLOCKS ALL INCOMING INTERNATIONAL calls!!!

To unblock it - the person who's name is ON the phone MUST ONLY THEM go TO ICE with their cedula or ORIGINAL passport (NO copies) or if it's in the name of a corporation, the CURRENT (within less than 30 days) Jersonaria Juridica to change that (I have heard of 1 person that did it by fax).  If that phone's been handed down for generations as they often are - & the person has died - I was told by a friend at ICE that it's a VERY DIFFICULT thing to change which often involves going to court to change it (I asked as it happened to me with my old house I rented).  Ahhhh - life in "Paradise"!!!

Best thing to do - get SKYPE or something equivalent!!!  I have Skype, a monthly plan that gives me unlimited free calls to the U.S. (& Canada for the one I'm on) PLUS I have a U.S. # that was just $60 a year to get & I could pick the area!!  The cool thing is when I go to the states, I can forward that phone to my cell so no one knows the difference & since I get free calls - there's no extra forwarding fee!!!
