Cell Phones

We know that Sprint, Altel and Verizon phones work in Chapleau.

If you have a phone from Verizon, be sure to update its software before you leave home. To do that, dial *228 (star 2 2 8). It take about a minute. The roaming table will be updated to include the Chapleau service provider.

Pay Phone and Phone Cards

We have a pay-phone on the property which accepts major credit cards and calling cards.

But our customers tell us that using a credit card on a pay-phone proved to be very expensive.

We therefore recommend that you buy a Canadian phone card here in Chapleau or by e-mail download. The most popular phone card is the Ci Ci Card. This card comes in $5 and $10 denominations. The $5 card costs $5.25 with tax included and gives you two hours of long-distance calling. Therefore one of these cards will probably suffice for your entire group.

The wallet size Ci Ci card is also available from Hugh and at the following locations in Chapleau:

At the corner store downtown in Chapleau. The store is called The Chapleau News Depot and is located kitty-corners across the street from the post office in the centre of town. That is at the intersection with the four-way stop and the flashing red light.

At the convenience store next to the Aux Trois Moulins Restaurant. (Coming from our boat-house, turn right at the beer store and drive about 1 minute).

Internet Access

High-speed wireless internet access is available free of charge right on the camp property through our WI-FI Hotspot. You have to bring your own computer. You can then go on-line if your computer is WI-FI enabled. The wireless router is located in the small building that also contains the pay-phone and library. This building is furnished with table and chairs for convenient computing. The wireless signal reaches about 300 feet from there. If you cannot receive the signal right in your cabin, simply take your laptop to the computer room.
