When we arrived in January we were saved when someone gave us a simply cell phone (old Nokia). We are passing it forward. Anybody need one? Comes with Movistar sim.

Ipad for U$D600

Also, we have a simple (old!) Nokia cell phone that was given to us and that we would like to pass on (free!). Perfectly functional.. Let me know if you could make use of it.
