Any ideas on where an expat can find work in CABA? I barely speak any Spanish. I don't mind working for minimum wage as long as I can get a work permit. I was thinking of the cliche English teacher job but I won't be able to try that until next year.

I'm glad my bank is proactive and warns me about fraud. It's saved me a few hundred dollars by automatically detecting payments that I didn't make. On the other hand, I've been locked out of my account many times for using cards in new places or buying from websites I hadn't previously used. A...

I tried using Tunnelbear VPN and it didn't work but I haven't tried any other VPN providers. I will give it a shot.

My banks app doesn't function outside the US sadly and they don't use email for verification anymore.

I have a Google voice account on an older Google account that I accessed. It is no longer attached to a Google voice number and I don't have a US number to set it up with. When I try signing into the app with the account that has Google voice it says that it's not available in my country.

I want to wire myself money via WU but it asks for receiver identification info. and I don't have an ID in Argentina. Is there a way around it?

This sounds like a good solution. How are your speeds in comparison with using cable/ADSL? Does Claro have good coverage throughout the city? I've used Claro and liked it, however, I've had numerous occasions where I would be in deadzones where there was no service.

Does anyone here use portable WiFi hotspots? I'm wondering if it would be a good replacement for connectivity issues/speeds of cable/ADSL.

How do you do that? I have my phone number attached to the account but if someone dials my number from outside the country it doesn't go through Skype.

I didn't know that. That's really cool.

Some smart phones have dual SIM card slots so switching between services is easy (and should work if you have an international plan). I've had success using Skype for calling anywhere in the world for a very low monthly cost: the downside to this is that you can't get incoming calls on the...

While searching for apartments online I noticed a few price listings in USD. Is it possible to have a cheaper monthly rent and expensas when paying in a foreign currency such as USD or EUR? Any experience with this? Also, are there any legallity issues present when paying rent or any other bill...

I'm moving to Argentina and I'm reluctant to hold onto pesos. I'm unsure of the best way of converting ARS into a more stable currency and the methods used of converting and transferring those funds. which currency to use for savings? which way to purchase locally? how do you take in income...
