    My New Netbook (Thank You!!!!) But Internet Problems

    I would also suggest switching to Fibertel. As to backup connection, or for the situations like this when you have no internet at all for several weeks. You can get mobile internet from a cell phone company. All three of them (claro, movistar and personal )now provide prepaid options with 5-10...

    Certificate Of Residency For Us Individuals

    I think your relative needs to get a certified copy of his driver license. Read this article in Wikipedia about it. In some states notaries do not certify copies, or certify only certain documents. In that case, he needs to make a statement that "this is a true copy" himself (see exact wording...

    Argentine Bonds Fall After Us Court Ruling

    I seriously doubt that any foreign currency enters the country as a result of Xoom operations. I think actual exchange takes place in some third country, most likely Uruguay, therefore there is no requirement to follow Argentine official exchange rate. You are getting pesos here, somebody else's...

    Problems Receiving Calls Personal Prepago

    It is free as long as your line is active. You need to spend add some money each month to keep it active. Balance expiration policies are different, but in general adding $30 pesos per month keeps it going. Movistar sets your balance to zero on expiration, Personal freezes it and reactivates...

    Anyone Here An American Notary?

    You realize that Argentine notary is not recognized in the US, right? That's what Apostille system is for. Plus I believe American notary can not operate overseas. He needs to be a "commissioner of deeds". Bottom line: just go to the Consulate :).

    Practicalities: Cordoba Y Ayachucho: Tribunales, Once

    Well, probably not fantastic, but it is OK after all. Look at the map where Plaza Miserere is. Hint: not even close. Plaza in front of Facultad de Medicina is probably not the best place for long night walks. To my opinion, it is neither Tribunales (too far from Palacio de la Justicia), nor Once...

    Argentina Freezes Prices To Break Inflation Spiral

    [/left] Clarin says Las cadenas les prometieron a Guillermo Moreno que mantendrán sus precios sin subas por 60 días. Store chains have promised. This is not a law. A week later the stores can say that economic situation does not allow them to keep prices steady, and that's it.

    Can't Open A Bank Account Without A Job In Argentina.

    I believe CUIL is generated automatically based on DNI number. It is 20+DNI+control digit. You can go to the Anses site and print out constancia de CUIL immediately.
