Cellphones: Calling-Using-Buying-Importing-Activating-Renting

[Flyer1999]

Fyi the pin as default for arg providers to voice mail is last four numbers of phone number.

I was told by my US carrier (t mobil).

That it would only cost about .15, pm.. To use my service in BA.

Anyone have experience with this?

The message on Movistar is that the Simcard will be activated in one hour. The difference between one hour and 4 days is quite large in my opinion. Movistar did not meet their own business standards in my case.

While I am, of course, extremely shocked that an argie company would not meet its business standard, let me point out that it was activated in one hour, four days later. They just didn't say which hour. This is similar to how argie landlords will advertise that an apartment has a washing machine, even though said washing machine does not work. It is true that the apartment has a washing machine.

I must have Telecom too, because #123* did get me a PIN request. But, there is no landlord to ask. How many digits is the PIN? 4? I'll try 1234 and 9999 and the last 4 digits of the phone number. Thanks.
Edit: I think you mean *123# and not #123*; at least, that is what got me to the PIN request. But sadly, it is none of the guesses that I tried.

I bought a Simcard on Thursday around noon and it did not get activated until around Monday morning at 01:00.

If you are flying in and use a travel phone like I do you might want to pay one of the travel agents on the board to buy a chip and activate it for you so you can get on ground moving faster. For me, I was lucky to have a regular that I could Whatsapp on my US phone. Without a phone you are always looking for Wifi hotspots which in today's world are common.

Plus i spent another hour conversing with 5 different people just to see if they knew anything. It was a huge time waster.

My pin is 4 numbers.

I haveTelecom. When I start the phone a recording tells me I have messages. Press #123* then asks for my pin.

The pin is my personal and sorry don't remember how I setup account. Your Landlord probably has it.

I know this is the cell phone forum, but I didn't see a reason to start a new thread to ask: does anyone know how to retrieve messages from a BA land line?

I am going to be in BA for 5 days then going north to do some fishing. Any ideas on the best way to make phone calls, mostly to set up some chica action. I have an iphone 5, but I do have an old iphone 3 that maybe I can get a sim for that might be easier.

Thanks.

Easiest cheepest and safest.

Claro 10 pesos, with no credit.

Movistar 30 pesos, with some credit.

Both took couple of hours to activate.

I use Personal so Thanks for the info on the other carriers but the cost of the Sim seems to depend on from whom or where you buy it.

Directly from Personal should be a "New" chip, unregistered, with zero credit and about 24 hours to become active.

I bought one from a Newspaper Stand and the Sim is registered to somebody else but it became operational in 2 hours.

There is a price difference between an Official Carrier's Retailer and a Newspaper Stand.

Not a big deal but at the airport it won't be friendly.

Downtown they are about 30 or 40 pesos I think. Probably 300 at the airport.

Yeah buddy,

Do you know what the quickest way to get a sim card at the airport?

Thanks!

Sim Card:

I understand that they Do offer them at the airport but like Everything else at the airport it will be about 10 times the price of what it is downtown. Maybe?

Cards are readily available. Some are operational in an hour or 2 and some take up to 48 hours.

Some come with phone credit and some do Not.

They are All very inexpensive.

I have a few spare sims that I Lend to the Boys if I can find them.

Phones too.

The Phone is free but the contacts are priceless!

Sim at the Airport:

If you MUST have one.

Only if it's Immediately operational, comes with credit and a BBBJ included.

Downtown they are about 30 or 40 pesos I think. Probably 300 at the airport.

No idea.

Have Fun,

Only as far as You can throw me!

1000 an hour is High for a regular "Sperm Bank" Privado Chica that calls herself an Escort on a Website.

2000 for T.L.N would be a Good Deal!


If that's from 9pm - 9am . That's All Night .

Question:

Was She talking about Pesos or Fucking Dollars!

Can You Trust an Argentine?

One of the Boys picked up an attractive Hooker at Newport 2 nights ago and She stole his wallet with $800.00 Dollars in it.

It can happen anywhere but this Fucking C$U$N$T was not Happy with what he was willing to pay or what they had agreed on so she ripped him off!

I have an Excellent picture of her that Needs to be posted here!

Will have her name in a few hours too.

We got him a New girl and he is Thrilled! Going to repeat right about Now .

Have Fun,

TL.

In 2013 i bought a regular size sim card on street for 10 pesos.

It worked fine. Lol. Sometimes Argentina works.

My question is can i buy a mini sim card on street for my newer phone which uses mini sim card thanks.

Full, micro, nano. Currently most sims sold here are full with a micro cut out, so iphone 3 or 4 are fine. If it's the kind that go in a 5 or 6 (nano) then you need to get it cut. Most of the cell phone guys here have cutters, it's no big deal.
