We have wireless phones that will allow 800 or 1+ dialing (and as of 2/6/09 we have free long distance to the Neighbor Islands and the Continental US -- you will get a recording that the call cannot complete if the 1+ call is not a toll free number). The phones do NOT receive incoming calls, all incoming calls come directly to us.
You have to request a phone be put into your unit at some point during your booking communications with us -- they are not in the rentals by default.
The closest place that has a pay phone where you can call with 1+ is about 3 miles going north on Palani at the top of our street (turn left)...
Right up from the house (turn left at top of road at Palani Rd instead of right to go down town), about 3 miles is a small market (Matsuyama Food Mart), gas station and local plate lunch (Kay’s Kitchen)...They aren’t frequented by locals for no reason! If you want a novel breakfast, go early (they run out of fried rice if you go late) and order a loco moco with fried rice (rather than with white rice). This is fried rice, hamburger patty, easy over egg and gravy. They also have more traditional breakfasts as well and full line of other things to eat if you get home and just want a short trek to have some hot food... The listing says Mamalahoa Highway — yes Palani Road is also known as Mamalahoa Highway.
