Reaching us in Kenya

So I know y’all are wondering if you’re going to get to talk to us over these next two weeks and you just might! We will both have international roaming enabled on our regular cell phones, but those should only be used for emergencies! Sprint’s rate is something like $1.95/minute overseas so we won’t be on those much. We do have a Kenyan cell phone number that you can call anytime (ALL OF OUR INCOMING CALLS ARE FREE!!!)

Our Kenyan cell phone number is:

0710 476 827

In most cases you’ll need to dial the country code from which you’re calling (US = 011), Kenya’s country code (254) followed by the cell phone number above barring the leading “0.” It might look something like this: 011 254 710 476 827. Otherwise follow the instructions on the calling card.

There are two ways to reach us on our Kenyan cell phone.

1) International calling cards are relatively easy to find at your Wal-Mart, Target, etc. Follow the instructions on the card…it’s pretty simple.

2) Skype. This is communication by telephone over the internet for an insanely cheap rate! If you think you’re technologically savvy (or maybe you have a teenager that is) the process is very simple. If you go to www.skype.com and check out the instructions, they’re also pretty simple. You buy credit (like an international phone card) via paypal and dial our number and it’s all good. The value you’ll get for $10 on Skype easily quadruples the amount of talk time you’ll get from a $25 international calling card. There are no connection fees or service charges or anything! All you need is an internet connection, a credit card, speakers, and a microphone on your computer and you’re all set. Skype gives some of the most competitive calling rates for international communication around the globe.

If all else fails, there’s always e-mail! You can reach us on our Gmail accounts:

Diane – dfrosthill@gmail.com

We’ll be checking frequently!
