Posts: 85Claro recharge
Ok, so my fellow punters who may have gone thru this, help me!
I got claro sim which I bought and registered phone with them in my last trip. I had prepaid package so expired after few weeks; Now I'm going to be back in haven within next few weeks and was looking to recharge my sim (I am signed up on claro app), and while attempting to recharge, it ask for "Colombian ID" when entering CC / Debit card info. One option is Cedula, other is foreign ID and 3rd is Tax ID.
Given I don't have 1st or 3rd option, I tried 2nd and entered my US passport credential (as I used that when registered my sim and phone IMEI initially), but it's not letting me thru (charge) on credit card charge.
Anyone who had same situation, can you share what you did and how I can recharge my sim from USA?
My main intent is to have a working phone when I land (As I land after 10 p) and wanted to utilize Uber / In driver option to be picked up from airport and get to poblado.
Gracis.

Posts: 239Elefun
I have used 2 Spanish schools in Laurles Colombia Immersion and EleFun. Colombia Immersion was much bigger many people classes larger 6+ and more expensive. My last trip I stayed a few blocks from Elefun it was great. Only a few people my classes were only me and one other guy from Brasil. I think it is new but great vibe and the cost is less than CI and they include a beginners Salsa class with the tuition and food on Wed. So I would totally recommend Elefun. It is well worth the money. I might be around in early Dec if you want to pm me. I know laurles / estadio really well.

Posts: 5Drinks to stock mini bar
Hey,
Did a quick search and didn't really find anything useful. What kind of drinks do you guys usually stock up when you first arrive.
Looking for user friendly beer / alcohol to stock for the ladies and friends that stop by.

Posts: 41Learning Spanish In Laureles
Hi!
My Spanish is very poor, and on my next trip in Dec I was thinking of taking some Spanish classes during the day. I have found several options in Laureles including Colombia Imersion school, Prime, Elefun, OSLA international and Ondas. Anyone have any recommendations?

Posts: 97Worldwide SIM for a year $40
I use a Three-UK SIM when I head to Colombia. It's valid in 71 countries including USA and all of Europe.
12 GB of data is enough to last 5-10 trips, and runs $40 at Amazon. There's a cheaper 1-month SIM too.
No registration, or anything. Slip it in and you're good to go. Works out cheaper than getting a Colombian SIM, especially if you can split the $40 over a few trips. Everyone in Colombia uses Whatsapp (Even Rappi the delivery service) so no worries there.

Thank you to everyone for the great advice and particularly Fun Luvr for the offer of a loan phone.
In the end I got it sorted with a repair guy that was on a street near Suramerica station. Took him a few hours to get the parts but I got it back late afternoon. I'the never realised how exposed you are without your phone. No maps. No Google Translate. No Uber. Etc.
Annoyingly I've not been able to lay any pre-emptive messages of my arrival with my FB contacts so it's happening late. Might wander down to park Lleras later.
