    Life after Skype

    I think the number needs to be associated with your google account, not your sister's google account. Then when you go to https://voice.google.com, you will see the google voice number and you will be able to call from it. So, basically, she needs to log into Google as you when requesting the...

    Moneygram

    It makes it look like you're pretending to be in the US by using a VPN service. Here's an example from free Windscribe VPN IP: https://api.ipapi.is/?ip=86.106.87.105

    Moneygram

    Just by checking an IP address against a database, websites can usually tell if a request is coming from a VPN, a datacenter, or a residential connection. If it's not coming from a typical residential provider like Comcast or T-Mobile, but instead from something like an Amazon datacenter, it...

    So why don't you just open a bank account in the US?

    US Business owners moving to Argentina - Looking for advice.

    Doesn't using the word 'salary' together with 'rentista' create a bit of dissonance in your mind? 'Rentista' implies an uninterruptible source of income, in my opinion, so it can't be a salary.

    Got deported

    For some reason, they were held at the airport for days, not just hours. That gave the lawyer enough time to take action - if I remember correctly, basically on humanitarian grounds. In any case, as illustrative as the pregnant women's situation was, it's probably unreasonable to expect to be...

    Got deported

    I know you believe lawyers can do anything, but I’m pretty sure a judge has to be involved for something like that. And in Argentine terms, 'immediately' doesn’t necessarily mean within a few hours.

    Got deported

    If your entry is denied at the airport, you're usually put on the same plane and sent back within a few hours. I doubt that would change unless your lawyer personally shows up at the airport with a judge’s order before the plane departs.

    Life after Skype

    Sonetel is just one of many SIP providers. SIP is a protocol used to make VOIP (Voice Over IP) calls. The SIP protocol and SIP providers existed long before Skype. Skype simply introduced its own proprietary protocol, and became very popular. Now, with Skype's demise, many people are returning...

    CEPO is lifted

    Well, there are still people getting paid "en negro" who want to buy dollars. So the cuevas will still be around, I guess, just like during Macri’s time.

    CEPO is lifted

    I see USDT is down 4.5% in pesos this morning. Is this the new unified exchange rate?

    Need US phone number

    We had a discussion about it here. Basically, Tello offers voice-over-WiFi service that works anywhere. As long as your phone is connected to WiFi, you should be able to make calls and send/receive SMS using the minutes and texts from your plan. When you sign up for the service, you get a U.S...
