Staying at an Aruba vacation rental does not mean staying out of touch with the rest of the world. Though relaxing should be a top priority at your Aruba vacation rental, touching base with home and business is often necessary. The telephone system at your Aruba vacation rental will likely function a bit differently from the one common in North America. Local calls in Aruba are only five-digits - ie. if you're making a restaurant reservation from your Aruba vacation rental phone. International dialing can be done through calling cards, and rates vary. For family and friends to call your Aruba vacation rental from off the island, the international access code (011) plus Aruba's country code (297), regional code (58), and local five-digit number is required.
Telecommunication services on Aruba are provided by Servicio di Telecommunication di Aruba (SETAR). The company operates phone and internet programs for both residents and visitors. Travelers to Aruba can arrange through SETAR to have a temporary internet connection established at their Aruba vacation rental, provided that it has a computer or that they bring a laptop. Prepaid phone cards, to use at pay phones outside of your Aruba vacation rental, can also be purchased from SETAR. Local cell phones are available for rent.
