per year), or more depending on unusual quantity, weights,
and frequency of forwarding plus mail costs.
2. FAX FORWARDING:
Initial setup: US$300. Ongoing fees: US$960 per year,

5. TOLL CHARGES:
Daytime toll charges to North America are US$1.30 per
minute. Note that the fee to call most of the world is US$3.50
per minute. Only some other Caribbean points, North America
and England are less expensive.
6. BILL PAYMENT:
Note that telephone bill payment may prove difficult logistically,
due to the speed of the mails. We would suggest by far the
easiest way to do this is by credit card. Cable and Wireless
will accept a client's letter requesting to bill a VISA,
MasterCard, or American Express account directly for all
charges on the telephone line. The bills would be sent to
our BVI address and forwarded so for accounting verification
purposes. We can be asked to pay it from funds held on account.
Our fee to pay the bill is an additional US$25 per month.
