Why not let her worry about her own phone?

NO reason to treat her like a baby. If she loses her phone, she's shit-out-of-luck! She's better off, it saves her money from not having to pay the phone bill, which many can't afford to pay.

Generally speaking, Why do Gringos want to spoil the Colombinas? It seems to me that most want to spoil them for their affection by buying them material things. And as they say, "money can't by love." You may go broke trying.

When in Colombia, act and live like a Colombiano, leave the money sacks at home and your gringo customs at the airport when leaving the US.

Vive Colombia!

Amigo, you can buy cel phones in Colombia for as low as $30 bucks sometimes.

I know you can get them for $40.

They definitely work in Colombia :)

Ricker,

Hmm. I thought the $50 to $70 range was for the cheapest phones in Colombia. Can you point me in the right direction? Where will we find them in the $30 to $40 range?

Thanks,

I'm going to Barranquilla to visit a girlfriend soon. She's demonstrated a propensity to lose or damage cell phones. I see these cheap cell phones ($50. 00 and less) on the shelves in big box stores such as Walmart and I wonder; can these phones be used on a local network in Colombia? If yes, this would be an economical way to set her up with a new phone.

I know my current Motorolla phone workd there. I just had to unlock it and then set it up with Comcel.

As I was making my rounds this afternoon I figured out by talking with various retail clerks that my idea won't work. Those phones are not 4 band, ie, world phones.

The girls that go to the Mansion are not Pro`s, and Greg does not allow Pro`s to work from the Mansion, unless invited by one of the guest.

The girls at the mansion aren't prepagos? But they sure are tiburones. He he

It should unless it locked, then you will probably need to go to el centro to "abrir la bandas"

The girl that go there are i would say prepagos and alot are new to the game, so if you are looking for a girlfriend for you time there it is not hard to do so if you treat them right, do not just fuck them treat them with respect give them a good time and trust me you will get you just rewards.

It works for me.

Thanks for your post. Some of the problems you have listed, I don't have to worry because I do not have a novia. Do you consider girls that frequent the Medellin Mansion, prepagos? I am not the type of guy that think I will pay a higher amount just to 'take a girl away from another guy' I like to pay a fair price so what is fair in Medellin? The dual-pricing structure you are hinting to is one price for gringos and one of natives, right?

As far as the "dual pricing" goes, one price for dumb / naive / language disabled gringos, and other prices for others :)

Evel, great prepago writeup.

A prepago is the Colombian word for semi-pro. It's a regular girl who part-times as an escort.

Prepago is often used incorrectly on the ISG forum. Someone just referred to Elektra as a good place to pick up prepagos. The girls in Elektra are prostitutes, not prepagos. Pros, not semi-pros.

A large part of the Medellin Mansion, VIP girl lineup would be prepagos.

To Evel's suggestions, I will add:

Who knows prepagos? Young playboy rich kids. Guys who work in modelling. Guys who are active socially.

You can hit up taxi drivers and sometimes they can help. Increase your hit ratio by only asking drivers who are fast talker / hustler type guys, young and don't have a rosary hanging from the rear vision mirror of the taxi.

Taxi drivers who mainly work in tourism and with gringos should all have prepagos. There are plenty of phone numbers on the forum.

[Almotu]

In fact, the best way to meet new prepagos is by introduction through prepagos that you already know.

As always, please respect your Gringo brethren. Do not pay inflated prices or otherwise support the "dual-pricing" structure that plagues us all.

Somebody asked in another thread about how to get involved with the "prepago" networks in Colombia. It seems that an entire thread dedicated to prepagos might be useful due to their increasing popularity in Colombia and their initial complexity for inexperienced gringos. I'll let the moderators make that decision because it is their prerogative.

Without such a thread, this thread seems like the best place to discuss prepagos. Here are some generalizations about the prepago networks, but please keep in mind that the networks are always a little different in each specific city.

Join social networking sites before your trip. The usual sites are Amigos.com, CyberCupido.com, Hi5.com, LatinAmericanCupid.com, Match.com and sexyono.com. I hope other guys can recommend some other sites to add to this list. There is no shortage of prepagos on such sites. Pay special attention to young women that are involved with certain occupations. The most reliable occupations are related to beauty, entertainment, fashion and publicity.

Subtly seek out and meet Colombians of all kind in the airport and on the airplane. Generally, Colombians are very friendly and eager to talk to Americans that are not arrogant. It is an error to limit your conversations to young female Colombians. The airport and airplane are full of affluent Colombians. Middle-aged Colombian men love to impress American men with their knowledge of Colombian women in general and prepagos in particular after some conversation and a couple of drinks. Middle-aged Colombian women love to play cupid if you are seeking a novia.

Stay at a luxury hotel. Talk to the bellmen and taxi drivers, but do not befriend them. Be respectful, but do not become "too friendly" with them. Greet them and talk to them, but do not socialize with them outside the hotel. Ask them about prepagos. Keep in mind that Colombians gossip more than you can imagine. If you ask about prepagos, employees of the hotel will know. If you have a novia, employees of the hotel will tell her about your activities. Never date any female employees of the hotel. Always have women call you on your cell phone instead of through the hotel front desk. Always send women home in a taxi from a taxi service that you called from your room instead of the taxi service associated with your hotel. This is not paranoia. These are lessons I learned the hard way. Beware of gossip.

Subtly begin conversations with Colombians guests of all kinds in the lobby, at the pool, etc. The reasoning is the same as previously discussed regarding airports/airplanes.

All universities have prepagos, but some universities are particularly known to be epicenters of prepagos. Usually the best university for prepagos will be a private university where the middle class girls need to compete with the upper class girls.

Meet people employed or enrolled at modeling agencies, publicity agencies, cosmetology schools, beauty salons, etc. Introduce yourself to the young women promoting products at supermarkets, malls, etc. Such occupations are a very target-rich environment.

Certain dance clubs and bars will have prepagos. The dance clubs and bars that are most popular with foreigners will have the greatest number of prepagos. Ask a male server or bartender for assistance. Treat servers/bartenders like I recommended treating bellmen/taxistas.

Join a marriage agency after arrival. Never join any marriage agency prior to arrival in Colombia. Never buy a "lifetime" membership or any other membership. Negotiate a price per individual introduction, and only pay that price after each introduction has been made. Never pay "sticker price. " The agencies are loaded with prepagos.

Check the classified ads of the primary newspaper of the city. There will be ads for prepagos. The ads are located differently in each city.

Go to *****houses and strip clubs. Treat the women respectfully and they will introduce you to friends that are prepagos.

In fact, the best way to meet new prepagos is by introduction through prepagos that you already know.

As always, please respect your Gringo brethren. Do not pay inflated prices or otherwise support the "dual-pricing" structure that plagues us all.

I know that other guys here must have innovative suggestions of their own so I'll let them take over now.

No problem rainman3, would love to but I am in the middle of planning a trip to honduras and I thought someone could just help me out with some info from here. Have no time right now. My friend and I werer talking about columbia and coasta rica for our next trip thats all. Sorry about the miss typo. All inclusive I mean a nice resort that allows you to bring in girls, is safe so we are not kidnapped or anything like that, and anything we need we can have there. That is what I mean. My friend told me bad things about kidnapping etc over there and I do not want that to happen. What are the going rates of the girls in comparrison to U. S. Money? I know the dollar has lost some. Thats ok. Just wondering.

Thanks

Nyc

You don't bring girls in to all-inclusive places. You can bring a girl. If you want girls, do not go to an all-inclusive.

Try going to the tourist zone in Cartagena. The entire area is quite safe. A newbie should look at paying US$50 to $75 for an hour or two.

Not trying to pick on you bro, but I would advise spending some time reading this forum and Im sure you will get the answers to your questions.

For now:

It's C O L O M B I A, not c o l u m b i a

No visa requirement like Brazil

All inclusive places? Define all inclusive

Prices can range form 20K COP ($10USD) short term with a street chica to
350K with a gorgeous prepago. Get what I mean now!

Respectfully,

Rainman3
