Hi folks, I have an iPhone 5s which, after charging it one night, shut off immediately when I turned the alarm off in the morning. I turned it on, and it turned on for about 5 seconds, before shutting off again. The battery said 100% but every time I turn it on it stays on for between 2 and 30...

Hey folks, I am aware that this subject gets brought up a lot on this forum, and I'm not here to gripe about the complications surrounding the movement of dollars in and out of the country. However, I have a friend who needs to send money, dollars more specifically, to an account abroad, and...

Hi folks, I was wondering if anyone could recommend a good kinesiologist in Retiro or el centro. I was going to one in Caballito but for me it is much too far to travel for the amount I was paying. Please let me know if you have any recommendations. Thanks

Hi folks, I've had a card sent to me from abroad and after checking on the official Correo website I've learned that it arrived and that two attempts were made to deliver it. The problem is the website doesn't say where I can go to pick up the package. It says that I've been notified the...

Hi folks, Normally I take the buquebus but after seeing the fees on their website I opted to go for Colonia Express for a brief holiday this weekend. I've been told that Colonia Express departs from Darsena Norte in the morning and arrives in Darsena Sur in the evening, however the website...

Hello everyone, I recently returned to lovely Bs.As. and I brought along my trusty, electric, coffee grinder to take care of all my coffee grinding needs. However, unlike most of my electrically run appliances, my coffee grinder was not up to the task of managing the voltage from the outlets...

Hi guys, I recently purchased a new phone and plan to use it in Argentina. It's compatible with the SD cards there but I'd like a little info on carriers and pricing, specifically for minutes and data. I've used Movistar in the past but don't know about Claro or Personal or data usage fees.

Hi guys, I'll be returning to Argentina in January and, given the prices of smart phones in Argentina, I'm looking to invest in a new smart phone in the US. My current provider told me that I could use the iPhone 5s or 5c with CDMA capability in Argentina. All I would need to do is replace the...

Hi folks, I posted sometime last year about potential volleyball groups here in Buenos Aires. Sadly I had little luck in finding fellow volleyball players. I understand it's not a very popular sport here but I'm hoping to find out if recreational volleyball is offered in any local gyms. I...

Hey y'all, Just a quick question. Where can I buy vaseline here and what is it called? I searched all over the place (farmacity, Coto, Disco, Chinese supermarkets) but no one seemed to know what it was. I probably don't know the correct name for it in Castellano so that's probably why they...

Hey guys, I'm looking for a little advice. I just moved into a new flat this week and during the big storm we just had today I went into the kitchen to get something to eat and realized that it had flooded. All the windows were shut and it was dry around the edge of the kitchen. My only...

Anyone know what the protests are going to be like in the next few days?

Hey y'all, Just thought I'd ask around and see if anyone knew of any pickup volleyball groups in BA. I played a lot of recreational volleyball back home and would like to play some while I'm here. BA doesn't seem like a volleyball town but you never know.
