Okay, you guys. I know someone out there might be able to help me. Here's the deal: I am taking my Mother on a cruise for her 80th BD in March. She lives in PA, I live in CT. We are flying separately into San Juan, my plane supposedly arriving 6 minutes ahead of hers. My sister is taking responsiblity for getting my Mom to the airport and to security safely.
My Mom has all her marbles, but she has never had a sense of direction. I'm figuring she can get to the gate okay. My worry is San Juan.
I'd like to get her a pre-paid cell phone so I can call her (or vice versa) when she arrives to figure out where to meet her. I have Verizon for a cell carrier and happen to have a spare Verizon phone. However, I asked at Verizon and the only way to do it through them is to pay a $25 activation fee plus $50 a month. That seems steep! This cell phone will probably only be used for a little bit that one week as my Mom is not a believer in cell phones. I could add her as another line, but I'd have to pay $9.99 a month. That doesn't seem like a good deal, either.
Does anyone have any other ideas as how to pull this off reasonably? Are there any other carriers out there that would service San Juan in a pre-paid service at a reasonable price?
