I've email BTL several times, with no response. Could anyone tell me approximately how much "local" telephone service costs monthly, and roughly how long it takes to get service. A week or a month? It's in San Ignacio, pole next to the house. thx

Here is the BTL pricing structure:

New Service Installation Fee : $108.00Bze
National Calls Only Deposit : $150.00Bze
National/International Deposit : $200.00Bze
Non Residency Application Deposit : $1,000.00Bze

In other words if the applicant does not have residency the total cost of getting a line installed and going is $1,108.00Bze. Service installation in San Ignacio is from 3-7 days after application has been filled.
