For me Google Fi is way better than T-Mobile One Plus
[QUOTE=MrEnternational;2296747]Get the T-mobile One Plus plan and you will not have to worry about wifi. You can use your internet overseas for free. I even have free calls to and from Mexico and Canada and my bill is only $70.[/QUOTE]I use between .5 and 2 Gigs of data a month and my bill is $25 to $40. My max bill is $80 but only if I use 6 Gigs or more of data, which has never happened. I get full LTE speeds, not 3 G like you frequently get on T-mobile. Google billing and customer service is way superior to T-Mobile and it uses both the T-Mobile and Sprint Networks which makes it more reliable. I have used it in Colombia, Peru, Argentina, Uruguay, Brazil, Chile, Canada, Japan, Philippines, Singapore, Cambodia, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Australia and New Zealand. When the T-Mobile partner network was down in Peru, I was fine my phone auto-switched to the Sprint partner network. I had T-Mobile a few years ago and had awful billing and customer service problems.
When I'm on wifi, I get free calling back and from the US. When I'm out and about on the cellular network it is 20 cents a minute. I get unlimited SMS around the world.
One of my favorite features is they give you a free 2nd Sim card you can put into a laptop, tablet or 2nd phone. I use it in a 2nd, cheap unlocked phone which I tend to take out at night in case it gets jacked.
Here is a link for a $20 credit signing up for the service.

Three nights in Medellin.
Been wanting to go to Medellin, Colombia for a long time and finally went for 3 nights weekend trip.
It was a short trip, but with all the information available here, was able to make a list of places to go.
Wish my report can help few newbies wanting to visit the city and enjoy it.
Uber- Never once took the taxi since I do not speak any Spanish at all. Uber worked great.
Bank ATM- Used the Davivienda bank since someone mentioned that they do not charge any fees. Which was true but I got killed with my own Bank of America bank ATM fees.
Also, note that this bank gave me an option to withdraw 1,500 k which is about $500 dollars.
For newbies, once you get to ATM machine, just put the card into the machine.
I was a bit intimidated with Spanish written screen, but once ATM card was inserted, it gave me an option in English.
Food- Stayed in Poblado area so there was plenty of eatery around for cheap. Really enjoyed empanadas and Colombian hot dogs.
OK, here some my experiences with mongering.
Loutron- located on the hills by very fancy residential area. Uber dropped me off at wrong location so had to walk down a bit to find this place. 300 k per HR. And saw some 10's.
Liked the fact the girls show their body during the intro. Obviously, it's on higher side but glad that I tried.
Gusto night club- 15 k cover. Went Friday and Saturday nights but did not see much. Was packed with gringos. Only cool or funny thing was few girls that I saw on Youtube video about Parque Lleras, they were in this club.
Fase Dos- No cover. Quick drive from Poblado. Girls were OK not great. Price is 190 k and on-site rooms are very clean with shower. Visited all three nights during my stay and same girls worked on those nights.
La Isla- 10 k cover charge. Really had high hopes for this place but did not see any pretty girls here. Visited both Friday and Saturday nights and was disappointed. Many girls just sat on the couch and playing with their phone.
New Life- Visited Friday afternoon and Sunday morning. 50 k for 30 min and girls are like next door types. There were tons of gringos as I waited more than 20 min since all the girls were taken each time. Each girl that I tried had a pleasant attitude.
My thought on the Medellin, Colombia- Beautiful city with friendly people. Everything was cheap and felt very safe around the city.
Also, was surprised how many tourists were visiting the city. Maybe, I had high hopes where city had nothing but 10's walking around but maybe my expectations were too high or bad timing.
However, I never had a bad sex with each girls I tried. They all wanted to pleased and make sure I was happy (hard to say about women in America).
Not sure why but I am intrigued to visit Cali next time. Noticed that Cali isn't talked about much on this forum, but I would like to visit next month or so.
Why not download WhatsApp
Why not just download whatsapp?
[QUOTE=LoveItHere69;2297388]The Google fi website and several postings on ISG talk about the costs for you as the Google fi user.
But what are the costs for the Colombian girl to text you if she is not using Whatsapp but her local cell phone provider (Claro, Moviestar)?
Is it easy for the girls to text your Google fi phone? Maybe a simplified trick such as text then first so they automatically have your number? But I am afraid they may not text me when they see the non-local number and assume they will be paying international rates and thus not text back. I am interested in any problems now and the solutions before I buy a fi phone.[/QUOTE].
A few thoughts on my first trip.
I have just returned home from my maiden trip to Medellin.
A few notes and observations from this trip.
I used this forum as my main research tool for the trip. Thank you to the members who have contributed to this site.
I took a lot of time to find somewhere suitable to stay. My needs were a good kitchen, security and an area where I can walk in the day time.
I settled on an AirBNB place in Laureles. I like the area. I prefer entertaining my ladies at home where I have full control rather than going.
Out for casa visits, strip clubs etc. I was by myself so maybe next trip I will venture out more, but I was in my comfort zone operating this way.
I spent my time with mostly pros. I did a couple of non pros with mixed success, had I stayed here longer I might have been tempted to date more.
Non- working girls.
Some were from facebook and I used the photoprepagos site.
These 2 methods took enough work to manage. I am on holidays so this was as much effort as I was willing to put it. I did consider using SA and Tinder, but I had.
Enough success with the 2 aforementioned methods.
Most of my experiences were really good, some excellent and a few went badly.
I did spend a fair bit of time with a lady that has been well reviewed on here before. Like most reviewers I found her to be a little sweetheart and great company.
However her use by date is approaching. The wrong side of 30 now and the booze and drugs use are starting to show. She can have a bit of a shitty temper when she is coming down.
Of her highs as well. Saying that she is still worth calling out for a service and will remain a good provider for another couple of years.
The worst experience I had was with another FB chica that has been mentioned on here. V. R. - turned up 2.5 hours late, totally off her head drug fucked and provided overall a shitty service. Her.
Body needs some more exercise to tone it up and she called an Uber on my phone app when I was not looking after I already gave her taxi money. Pity because I was looking forward to doing her.
And under the right circumstances I could imagine her to be good fun. Ah it happens.
The best experiences I had all trip were with girls from Photoprepagos and one from Gusto's. Who I picked up outside. I like the filter system on photoprepagos. I found it useful to find someone that is open to what you have in mind for.
A particular session. Getting price quotes for a service is where I first noticed Gringo prices. I experimented a bit using a local sim and then with my work phone. There was often a 50 to 100 COP price difference.
All texts were sent in Spanish in case you were wondering.
Just a few more last thoughts.
Lessons learnt in other countries can be applied here.
I booked a modern comfortable apartment for my stay and provided drinks, food and music for my guests. Once they are comfortable and relaxed you will get better service out of them.
I like to cook and I found the girls generally liked having a meal cooked for them. I had one smoking hottie took a liking to my cooking. She would come around for dinner, give me a freebie and then go out and sell.
It for $200 at Gusto's. No budding master-chefs you are not getting her name.
Invest in a good pair of walking shoes.
Try to pay cash in restaurants and use ATM's to obtain local currency. I have a citibank card and I got a very good rate at the ATMs.
