Telbo Launches Prepaid High Speed Internet Access

Bonaire’s telecommunications company, Telbo, N.V., just announced that they have launched a new Internet service, which may be of interest to those visitors who need occasional access to the Internet while on the island.

With fourteen hotspots ranging from Flamingo Airport in the south to Playa Lechi in the north, those with laptops can now sit at the seaside, a restaurant, or in their rented apartment or villa to chat with family or check their email.

Internet service can be pre-purchased at the following rates:  FL 5.00 (USD $2.81) for one hour, FL 25.00 (USD $14.04) for six hours, or FL 50.00 (USD 28.09) for fifteen hours.  After receiving a card, scratch the layer to reveal the login number, open your browser, select your service type, enter your login number, enter access, and you are connected.
