Posts: 134Probably yes.
But as far as you are aware of the market rates. You should be fine.
As one of the fellow monger suggested. Now I don't ask for price, its 150 K + taxi. If I got the contact from FB or any other site.
Street mongering is another story, which I haven't tried much.
I use my UK number, and I don't speak Spanish! Use translator.
Still I am able to survive. I will put my report soon.

Hello,
Does anyone think there is any difference on the girls end if she gets a WhatsApp from a us number vs Colombia number? Do you think she would price differently etc. Or do these girls not pay any mind to it?

The clock starts when you activate so I bought two so I have one ready when the other one finishes.

Posts: 633Google fi.
Time for a new phone. I mostly text. Google fi sounds great for me to use but how hard is it for the girls to text me? What are their costs using normal carriers such as Claro, Moviestar, Tigo? Will their texts get to my phone? Is a text message to my Google fi a normal cost, maybe a little bit more, or is it a high cost for them?
I know most girls are using Whatsapp and it is free. But there are a few that will not have Whatsapp.

Posts: 101Colombia DATA SIM card from Amazon
Been using this SIM card my past 4 trips to Colombia. It's a Three UK SIM and gives you 12 GB of data that lasts 12 months. Valid in 71 countries including Colombia, all of Europe, and seemingly more countries every time I check. It uses Movistar, which works great everywhere (well except San Andres where nothing really works).
Just pop it into your SIM slot and you're good to go. It's $40 for the year which is about $3. 5/ GB if you use the whole thing. You can renew when you run out of quota but it's cheaper just to get a new one (I carry a backup). No need to worry about SIM registration, expiration of card, etc.
It is a DATA ONLY so if you need a number it won't work. Only time this is a headache is with Uber sometimes the guy likes to call. Now when I match I just message them right away and say I have data only, so can only message. Whatsapp calls work awesome and everyone in Colombia has WA.
Here's the link on Amazon to buy it. There's also a 30 day one that costs less but might as well pay the extra $10 for the entire year.

More info on Three-UK service (if you're in the UK can probably buy off this link easier).
