Good Phone Plan?

[Vwang777]

What's a good phone plan to get in BA? I'm going to be living in the city for around 6 months and I would like a SIM card with good signal and a good data plan (so I can use my messaging apps to communicate with friends and family abroad) and preferably no contract.

Also, I've heard that it's not advised for me to use my iPhone since it has a high risk of getting stolen...is that true?


Thanks!

Without a DNI, you do not have much choice but to get a pre-paid (prepago) plan. Movistar seems to be the most popular. You'll need to buy data separately.

The best bet for apps is to get on WiFi as much as possible. Risks of having an iPhone stolen are greatly exaggerated. Just use common sense about when you use it.

Avoid Personal, thats all i can say about phone plans.

Also, if you do bring a nice phone dont use it in a taxi with the window down. I know 2 people who have had them stolen whilst sitting in a taxi talking on them.
