Posts: 707Delay issue with Movistar Simcard activation.
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.
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.
Plus i spent another hour conversing with 5 different people just to see if they knew anything. It was a huge time waster.

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.

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

Posts: 3510I 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?

Posts: 27First time visiting next week
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.

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.

Movistar 30 pesos, with some credit.
Both took couple of hours to activate.

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,
