Tips for clear & uninterrupted calls

Whether you're reaching Aruba for business or family, three habits keep every conversation crystal clear and a clean route from TKOS handles the rest.

HD audio for Aruba calls
Oranjestad routes through West Africa can carry higher jitter — a headset with active noise cancellation compensates for audio artefacts without you needing to adjust anything.
Connection quality to Aruba
Oranjestad is ~10,252 km away — latency runs 280–310ms. Use wired ethernet to eliminate Wi-Fi jitter on this long-haul path.
Best time to call Oranjestad
Schedule Aruba calls during Oranjestad business hours — 09:00–17:00 America/Aruba — your contact will be at their desk in a quiet space rather than taking the call on the move.
