SIM Card?

Hello,

Anyone know the best way to go about getting a SIM card? I am in El Pobaldo so something nearby (the mall perhaps) would be awesome! Best,

Nate

You can go in any phone place in any mall or street store or kiosk and buy a sim.. might be to late now... I prefer Comcel, some will say TIGO... you get one now with your drivers license. Years ago you needed your passport. Buy larger denominations of recharge cards and get more BONUS minutes.. THEY WILL go fast.

I agree, I always buy the 50,000 peso card, seems to last forever.

You can go downtown (el centro in Medellin) and find the sim card of your choice on the street for 5 mil that included 10 mil worth of minutes. Just look for the girls wearing the phone company logos.

Cool, stopped off at a Comcel office and got the SIM card. Thanks a bunch!
