I know, I know, but many ask questions about travel-related issues! This can't be too out there! I have Verizon Wireless and I will have to rent a phone and then pay 1.50 a minute plus $750,000 in taxes and surcharges. Any suggestions as to economical alternatives, besides yodeling really loudly? I'm staying at STARWOOD HOTELS on POINTS, if this will keep the thread alive long enough to get assistance!!!!!! Thanks!
