I can tell you, Telephone service in Roatan is crappy at best. My best shot at communication was email when I lived on Roatan. The phones worked about 50% of the time..Which was partly due to the talent of my resort manager who climbed up the pole to jerry rig the phone line because Hondutel is never in a rush to repair anything! after a winter storm it was "no phones" for at least a few months! Sounds like with the new "Telephono", it will be more of the same. Whoever you are trying to contact, if they dont have email, I'm sure one of the nice people on the board would be happy to pass on a message to your friend...

It made Hondutel run new lines and Even got me a phone at my home. It went out once since I got it but they fixed it within two days. As for Telephono I understand that they started in West Bay but I know of one person who had it but then it broke and they haven't fixed it yet. There was also some controversy about the local calling numbers that you were to receive for free. Seems the exchange number they were using as the local calling number is no longer being used. (I got that second hand so take that with a grain) I know I signed up for a telephono line back in Sept. and they said it would be in Sandy Bay by Thanksgiving. Still not here. I went back last month to get my money back as I have the Hondutel line and they don't have it to give back(their words). Guess I can kiss that goodbye. So I guess what I'm saying is if the person you are trying to reach has a Telephono > line that could be the problem. Those phone booths are popping up all over the island but I have not tryed to use one yet.
