Just an FYI.. peeked at my Amex Platinum bill from my honeymoon the last couple weeks, and get this. for a 2 second call that i got my parents voice mail. didnt speak a word. literally called n hung up whgen i got the VM. $42.57 . What a scam. for what its worth nobody in St Marteen takes Amex except the phones and jewlery shops. do not use a phone when ur there and no cell phones work at all...
Did you call from a hotel? They're notorious for adding charges. Best bet is to buy an international prepaid phone card and use it.
yeah i called from my hotel room, however it was not on the hotel room bill it was directly on the amex bill. On that island its no prepaid calling cards anywhere. Its CC or collect or your own your own, long tin can and wire..
