The last time I was here, I remember just going to a Kiosko and buying a Movistar sim card. But I asked at a few Kioskos today and they said no. Can anyone recommend a good place to buy a sim card near Plaza Italia - cell repair stores maybe? Any difference between the providers. I noticed...

In the taxi into the city, I looked in my passport and there is no stamp. The migraciones lady took my photo and fingerprint. Is it all electronic now or am I in for a bureaucratic nightmare?
