Good advice my friend. I appreciate it. Actually very wise to say "no, no no thank you," but maybe after having tried ignoring them. It really is some kind of rule out here.

This is Verizon addressing the phase out of CDMA.

T-Mobile is going to shut down the old Sprint CDMA at some point.

You don't need any guides or to talk to anyone at the square or anywhere else. Something I learned early on is they are unnecessary middle men. You can talk to the chicas directly. You can book your own place. There are plenty of tourist stores that sell tickets to all kinds of attractions. You can ignore all the touts trying to get a cut by reselling you what is already there.

Interesting posting by John Wick.
I was at the clock tower tonight because I wanted to see what was going on there. There's a lot of women almost all from Venezuela mostly pretty hardcore. They all are selling sex by the hour.
There's also a lot of men walking around trying to get you to go up the street with them and then ask you for money. The problem is these men don't have a market Niche strategy. Say what you want about Tony he is providing a very valuable service her people who are looking for that service. These guys have nothing to offer and they're not sure who their market is and even what they're selling. So I would just tell them no and follow that with another no and then soften a bit and say no thank you and that usually was sufficient.
Don't ever actually engage them in any discussion and certainly never give them any money. It will only encourage them to be more aggressive and if they can come close to you they can pick pocket you or even mug you. Of course The logical question is what is the relationship between these men wandering around with nothing to sell and the women wandering around with something very obvious that they're selling. Are they boyfriends and girlfriends or are they even all from the same country? I don't have any idea. I spoke with several of the women but none of them really appealed to me at all. At about 10:00 they moved from the square in small groups toward la dolce vida. Most of them seem to go into that club where some of the others in the same area.
Of the women I took their phone numbers, pretty much all of them texted me later that evening so it doesn't seem like any of them found a guy. Actually they're not looking to find a guy they're looking to get money. I don't mind helping women out but when it's only about money it's not really very enticing.
But getting back to John Wick, of course you should get rid of that tour guide immediately and probably move out of the old city which is just loaded with scammers and hustlers of every type. Just to see what was going on I stopped a fruit seller, to ask how much a 2000 peso papaya was going for. 10,000 he proudly told me.

Last night was first in Cartagena. I ended up staying at a place by the clock tower so ID frequently walk around in that area. I've never seen such creepiness, straight up ghouls will start walking with you just mumbling to themselves. I actually stopped and asked a guy to leave me alone, that I didn't want or need anything, and I just stood there mumbling and wondering what I might need or where I might be going. Later I gave one 10 yo 'kid' 10000 COP because it was his fourth time approaching and walking with me. Told him it was "too leave me alone for the rest of the night. " he might've taken it wrongly but I doubt it, you cannot give these people your attention in any form. Next thing I knew there was a guy on a bike encroaching upon me, and a taxi with the driver leaning halfway out the window to offer me stuff. It was from a movie. Told the kid "what'd I give you 10000 for?" he goes "10000 is nothing, pizza costs 20000 and I have brothers / sisters. " Another guy then approached me on foot and I looked over and saw a pub bouncer right there so I just stopped and let the goons walk off. I went into the pub.
Helplessly looking like a tourist and travelling alone is NOT a recipe for success here.
Aside from that, went too paraisa del marino last night and holy shit was it popping. 40+ hot girls looking fire.
I had a really sketchy night overall but one dude I met on the street said he'd take care of me and be my guide. Actually followed through on his word. I did end up getting him and a bunch of people idk 3 rounds of beers, which all in ran me $90 which is a bargain for a sense of safety. Thing is, idk if I can really trust the guy.
Anyways, what's up tonight?

I chose this option because I don't like give out my passport information unless absolutely necessary. Cuba and now the Dominican republic both require you to give them your passport information before assigning you a Sim card. Prior to that, I unlocked all my phones and use a local Sim card when I touchdown.

It you would have bought an unlocked phone you could saved lots of money. For about $15 you could receive about two weeks or more time on the phone.
Whatsapp is free and works anywhere in the world.
I have a Unlocked Motorola G8. I paid $200 online.
