    Cell Phone Question

    It depends on the provider I guess. And may be on the mood of a person you are talking to. This summer I bought a prepaid nano SIM for a visiting friend at Claro office (Av. Corrientes 937). 60 pesos including 30 pesos credit. No problems at all.

    Cell Phone Question

    Check it out here: http://willmyphonework.net/ It looks like USA unlocked version will work for calls, 3G and even 4G LTE data on band 4. (Make sure you select right sub-model). If you are AT&T or T-Mobile customer, then locked version of the phone certainly will not work here. Verizon does...

    Gps

    You don't know what my GPS device is :). But, basically, if you are interested check standalone vs assisted GPS. I agree with what you are saying, but connected cell phones, for example, download almanac information from the internet. You just don't notice it unless the process is broken.

    Gps

    I am a big fan of here.com. It used to be Nokia map service, but it was sold recently to a group of automakers. They allow to download maps for different countries for offline use for free. I believe Google has this functionality as well nowadays, but Nokia provided this service for ages...

    Best way to stay in Argentina?

    Bajo Cero, You are using word "accepts" instead of "allows" and this is what causes the confusion I think. Google for "USA accepts dual citizenship" and "USA allows dual citizenship" and compare the number of results. USA does not recognize dual citizenships, but allows it. And there is a...

    Skype Ain't Cuttin It....

    Callcentric, Anveo and Voip.ms are the biggest North American VOIP companies with Pay-As-You-Go plans. From these three Anveo has the best quality in my experience.

    what is the best cell phone a/c to have for international roaming within South Americ

    You can still get an incoming DID number and redirect it to your local mobile. For example, Callcentric gives out free numbers in NY state. One thing to keep in mind though, that some mobile providers treat incoming VOIP calls as calls from public phones. For example, in Argentina with budget...

    New Dollar Restrictions

    There was a similar legislation in Russia back in the nineties. When currency control measures kicked in, people and companies just started to quote prices in "conditional units". One Conditional Unit is generally believed to be an equivalent of one dollar, but it is not really a dollar, and not...

    Movistar has 1GB data plan (3G) that works with prepaid. 10 pesos / 2days. I've heard that after first 10Mb speed drops next to nothing, so meaning of "unlimited" is open for interpretations.

    Is anyone else having serious trouble with Telecentro right now.

    It's been 1.5 years. Camundanet phone number price is now 25 USD for 3 month (8.33 per month). And yes, you can redirect it to a regular phone number (their normal calling rates apply) or to skype/sip number. See "Redireccion" menu link after you log in.

    A few Correo questions!

    Technically, you can use any postal office, but not all of them deliver mail to the central postal office daily. So, if you pick a random one, it can take like a week to deliver your mail only within Buenos Aires. You should go to the central office at Peron 300 (& 25 de Mayo). On Saturdays it...
