From what I've gathered from reading this forum is that it's better for me to bring a cheap unlocked cell phone from the US and then purchase a sim card in Argentina. I don't want to bring my iPhone (plus it's not unlocked) but I do have a Samsung t239 that works perfectly and is unlocked.
Here is where the confusion comes in, I keep reading about dual band, quadband, "world" phones, etc. According to the phone manual, the phone I want to bring is GSM 850/1900. Will that work in argentina? I just want to make calls and send texts, no email or internet
Fwiw, this is the phone http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/phone.php?p=2051
