Posts: 3802The downside to a USA phone with International service in Colombia is if its lost or stolen and the issues associated with out it, such as no two step verification, no Whatsapp, etc.

Seems like some like to only roll with a Colombian number here, or only a USA number, and some with both, with seems to be the ideal situation as you mention.

I regret to inform you that I have been seen her off and on since '15 when she was a mansion girl and she told me I was her "first client" anal back then, LOL. So don't take what girls say for being the truth.

Posts: 2125Yea like the lady that sells the empanadas venezolanas on calle 50 or the women yelling restaurante over by hotel calle real, I've even met a maracucho taxi driver (who was more honest than many colombian taxistas) . All of them are Venezuelan immigrants but none of them are hookers.

Posts: 98I have Google FI. I just turn on "Mobile Data" for a few minutes to do some text messages or look at a map when I do not have internet connection. Cheap and easy.

Posts: 163Had the locals in mind. Vennies are in different category, often without support network, family and any other prospects, often just a BF and a bebe in a new land. Don't mind tipping them, not at all. And to clarify I'm talking about centro Vennies charging minimum rate, not the Poblado Vennies who quote in usd and won't budge when offered less than 300 mil. Those clearly have enough.

One of the best one was from a chica in a club, asking to send some money, spamming nasty photos and how she'll give me a good time soon. All the while she was sitting like 3 meters from me. And didn't have a phone with her, left it at home.

Posts: 18338Exactly. I have met too many Venezuelan refugees that are not hookers, so I know not to believe a lie that there is no other way. What do you suppose they will do when that way runs out if what you say is true?

Posts: 74XL size condoms
Does anybody know where they sell XL sized condoms? Or anything bigger than the standard size that they sell here. I've seen this question before on the forum but wasn't answered then. Hopefully somebody knows.

Posts: 985T-Mobile. Most / all plans have free text and slow (2 G?) data for 215 countries. 25 cent per minute. Unlimited minutes and faster (4 G?) data in Mexico and Canada. Decent prices if 55+ with multiple phones.

I always get the local 30 day plan for 41 K in Colombia (you can also get the 30 day plan with the same data but limited text/minutes, instead of unlimited text/minutes for ?31K).
If you don't like the hassle of going to a Claro company store, the Google Fi plan seems to be convenient.
You can get a Google Voice number. Get a Google voice number with a US cell number. Then add the Google number to the credit card / bank / etc as the primary number. Then when the company calls to verify, it should go to the Google Voice number, which you can get if you have internet data.

Only potential problem is that some of the banks / brokers / credit card companies might not work with the Google Voice number.

Posts: 1174You have to have an internet connection to use Whatsapp. The MDE airport has free wifi, but unless you have an international data plan, you can't use Whatsapp when you leave the airport on the way to Medellin. If you're riding in a taxi or rideshare or bus, you can't use Whatsapp. You can't receive or send messages, or make calls, when you're not connected to wifi. I pay Claro 41 mil for 30 days of calls, text, and data. To me, it's well worth it.

Posts: 4405At&t and t-mobile offer account plans that include international roaming data at no additional cost. I recommend you get one even if you already have a Colombia number. It covers you in a pinch if your Colombia service provider has an outage or your account is out of data. It of course also covers you if you travel somewhere other than Colombia.

Posts: 4405There are at least a few people who are significantly more than $1,000 in debt. Assuming someone you have that amount would use it to pay down their debt, and this is a big assumption, that person would be closer to square one. Which further assumes the person would not run up yet more debt.

So many horror stories in the past on this board about lost / stolen phones and the headaches they cause which I don't want.

Posts: 103What about Venezuelan refugees that have to other way to earn than working as a hooker to feed their family. I'm sure you think they can choose to go flip some burger or something else instead right?
