If you choose TIGO, they have a special rate of $300 per minute for prepagos if you dial 00414 before 1- 305 5555555. I tested it and it worked great and tigo even charged my cell the correct amount.

I think tigo´s normal rate is with the prefix 007.

009, 007 and 005 all work and are different long distance call providers. Movistar is owned by Telefonica, the large Spanish multinational. They as well own half of Telecom, which is 009.

The cool think with Movistar when calling the US your actual phone number appears on the US caller ID. Most of the other carriers convert the number to some strange number with a lot of zeros. The advantage being you know who called on a missed call with Movistar.. Larry
