I have had mixed results. One time they came to my place and gave me a note that I had to pick it up in retiro and pay some money. Another time I got a note that it was in retiro and I didn't pay anything. The last time I got a package it came right to my door (it was kind of large) and I...

The skype app on the phone works really well but does not work unless you are on a wifi network. Be careful with the data down here on the pay as you go plans, it will vanish faster than you think but not as fast as if you were to use the plans from att down here.

mercado libre is the best place to sell things in argentina. It is a combination between ebay and craigslist. Post it there and you will surely sell it.

First off I would say that your plan to bring an unlocked phone and then buy a sim is a great idea and really the best way to go. I might be alone in this but I had issues with buying a sim card from one of those small stores. What happened is that it just stopped working even though I had...

I have an iPhone that I have been using in Argentina for the last year. Hopefully you don't have the latest firmware as previous posters have noted that it can't be unlocked to work down here (at least not until the latest software is released iphone 4 style). The key for unlocking is more...

I stream a lot of my favorite shows from this site. http://www.seriesyonkis.com/ I also like that it has Spanish subtitles to help me learn a little.

If you mean will netflix send you movies here then no. It is only a US service.

In terms of getting cheap airfares in argentina. I have yet to try it out but I heard that you can buy tickets online from LAN but select argentina or chile or something. Just don't select international. Buy your ticket at the argentine price and you are halfway to getting an argy price. The...

I wouldn't waste any time with these company's that offer jailbreak/unlock services. There are two places to go. This is the bible of iphone hacking: http://blog.iphone-dev.org/ This is a step by step guide: http://gizmodo.com/5302123/jailbreak-and-unlock-iphone-30/gallery/ PM if you have...

Some of my friends recently came back to argentina (an american and an australian) and they flew into jorge newbery and didn't have to pay anything. I could be wrong but I am under the impression that they only have the charging system set up at ezezia.

Yea I wouldn't take anything some guy wrote in a comment section very seriously or use it as a measure of the general mood. It's probably just some 14 year old who thinks it's funny to talk about killing other people that live far away.

An argentine once told me if you have called a wrong number you just hang up. You don't say excuse me I made a mistake or anything like that...you just hang up. haha. I would say 75% of the calls that come into my house phone are people selling crap. If I hear that small delay of the...

I have also been searching for this. I swear I saw something near santa fe and godoy cruz or maybe it was thamas. It was down one of these streets half a block from santa fe. I was passing by one day and saw the....forgive me I don't know what its called but the rotating hunk of meat that to...

Thank you all for your help. Next week I will see how much of a snowballs chance in hell I have. I also just got a letter telling me I have another package in retiro that I have to go collect. I will dress in my sunday worst and look as sad and dishelved as possible. I imagine I should say...

I guess what upsets me is that the clothing that I had (1 pair of slacks) was not only used and without any tags but was purchased here in buenos aires. Does the used clothing law really apply even to clothing purchased here in argentina? Can anyone tell exactly where the offices are located...
