This may be a stupid question. It is my and my husbands first time to TTR and I was wondering what emergency number other parents gave to grandparents when they went, other than cell phone numbers. From what it sounds like, it's a little spendy to receive and to call out on cell phones. Any info on this would be appreciated! Thanks!
Ask your cell provider what the roaming rates are in Mexico for you and if you have a smart phone make sure your data is set to off. Most phones are already set that way by default.
Verizon rates run about .99 cents a minute. We usually call home once a day and leave our phone turned off when not in use. You can always get a calling card and use the outside pay phone. Just don't use your room phone. We also leave the TTR # for emergency messages but have never had to use it.
In-case you need someone to get a hold you at the resort (calling from US) they should dial 01152 998 8487900 and then ask for the Full name on the reservation. This is the instructions we always leave when we are at Temptation. Have a great time!
We leave the hotel number. It is a hotel after all. Nothing wrong with that, and if a so call emergency happens will they or you really care. Don't have to write the hotel name if that is the problem. 01152 (998)848-7900 and tell them to call the operator if having trouble getting through. They can leave a message with front desk or on room phone if needed. I also give my kids all of the neighbours numbers as I am 5000 miles away and can't really take care of the emergency anyways. Bottom line is if they burn the house down I don't need to know until I get back. My neighbours can and will handle anything that comes up.
Thanks so much!!! Not trying to be a worry wart, but this is the longest distance I have been from my kids!!! Mommy needs a vacation!! (So does Daddy!)
I know we will! Mommy just has to get everything organized so she is comfortable with the situation at home. Daddy already has his phone shut off!
I just looked at dmac's photos and it looks like a great time! I am practicing walking in my big girl shoes. Were you able to be in heels all night?
