iPhone Sim Cards

[r3dwyn]

Ola mi amigos,

New to BA and have just realised they do not sell iphones here due to the company not having a factory in Argentina. OK no big dramas as I am getting a mate to bring an unlocked one in from the UK.

My question is does anyone know if the providers eg: Movistar/Claro/personal etc do the mini sim cards that are needed for iPhone 4s?

Cheers

I got one from Claro about 18 months ago.

thats awesome news...how much did it set you back?

also can you access 3G over here on prepaid?

They didn't charge me anything for the sim but I signed up for an ongoing contract with unlimitted voice & data, it costs about 100 USD per month.

3G is pretty poor here. Movistar has been horrible. You can get access to it on prepaid. Search the forums for quite a few threads on the topic.

i just went through this process. You get the mini sim card, but generally on a prepaid basis, which is quite expensive. I asked at Personal. If you want to get a plan, they require DNI and at least a visa of 18 months.

Any sim card can be an iphone sim card, all you need to do is cut it. There is even a tool for it, looks like a stapler, I am sure there are ppl who can do it, if not, I have one which you can use if u want.

Yes in Mercado libre for 8000 pesos, if you pay that much for a phone you either have to much money or need a reality check.. Haha
