Telephones

You can dial international calls directly or call from the SETAR office in the post office building in Oranjestad. Simply dial the seven-digit number in Aruba. AT&T customers can dial 800-8000 from special phones at the cruise dock and in the airport's arrival and departure halls. From other phones, dial 121 to contact the SETAR International Operator to place a collect- or calling card call.

Local calls from pay phones, which accept both local currency and phone cards, cost 25¢.

Because hotel phone charges on Aruba can verge on obscene, renting a mobile for your stay can save you a ton of money. Chapeau Aruba Business Services offers one-week rental packages for about $69 that include 60 minutes of talk time to the United States; each additional day's rental is only $5, and the phone can be delivered to your hotel for free.

To call Aruba direct from the United States, dial 011-297, followed by the seven-digit number in Aruba.
