Disaster has struck! So I'm on my way to Medellin (currently in Panama) and my brand new Samsung phone has been struck with a fault in the charging socket. It is now completely flat along with my WhatsApp and FB contacts. Can you believe this shit? It's like 2 months old.
Anyway that has left me in a difficult position so I have a couple of questions. Does anyone know of a Phone repair place that will be open tomorrow? FYI I'm staying at San Peters in Laureles if there's anything nearby.
The second question is where would be my best bet to find a super cheap but functional smartphone nearby? Anything will do.
I guess that rules out Uber / Cabify from the airport.
Thanks in advance.

Google Fi or T-Mobile is probably the best bet.

Just bring an unlocked phone (or get it unlocked in Colombia) and get a local SIM. My phone plan with Tigo is 55 k a month and includes 8 gig of data (4. 5 g), and unlimited calling and texting including to mexico the US Canada and PR. And it was month to month from the get go.

Is your other phone unlocked?
If it is just get another sim card.

Thanks WT but I have a Huawei unlocked with a Colombian sim card, but I am looking for options for my US phone I need to have that for work even when I am outside the USA that is why I had the global pass on Verizon.
I do use Whatsapp, you are right that most americans do not know about whatsapp.

I buy all my Unlocked phones on Ebay, Amazon and other companies.
Whatever country you go to Buy their sim card.
I spent 3 months in Buenos Aires and paid maybe US $40. You can call home, text, send photos, etc. For no extra charges.
Also use WhatsApp, it's free.
Most Americans are not smart enough to use it.

I like to stay in Laurles and you can take the metro or Uber to the Casa during the day and still walk around La 70 at night to eat or have a drink. I have never stayed in Centro but if you seach the Medellin tread lots of people recommend Hotel Botero (I think).

Hi I am thinking of saving some money and ditching verizon for Google FI. How is the service internationally, I travel for fun alot so that is important. I currently pat $10/ day for verizon travel pass. It works great but it gets expensive for 3-4 weeks.
I have a Pixel and am thinking of upgrading and that is when I would switch.

Hi,
I am traveling to Medellin next month. I am planning on visiting casas in centro during the day and staying in at night.
Is there any hotels in centro that I can stay at which are walking distance from many casa?
I am thinking about Hotel Kong since it has four casas on the same block.
Thanks.
