Cat:

They all shaft you, my point ecxactly!! I bought an unblocked mobile in Peru specifically because it had the GSM 850 frequency and not the GSM 1900. Purchased an AT&T GoPhone pre-paid SIM and $15.00 credit. Calls are $0.25 each!!! (I'm testing to see why I have such crappy reception in my house - as Cingular (now AT&T) seem to have 850 and not 1900 in urban areas and this will tell me the booster to buy!).

If the mobile is for calls in the US then I would suggest the GoPhone. If it is for international calls the US pre-paids are not really suitable except for texts and receiving. For voice transmission it all sucks!! But, I agree he has to tell Claro customer service before he leaves that he wants the International Roaming option.

Suerte!

I'm flying into Lima at 5:30 in the morning and have a connecting flight to iquitos in the late afternoon. Any suggestions on how to spend the morning in Lima? Is the Trocadero near the airport and does it open early?

Hope I can shed some light on the subject...

I use T-Mobile in the US - GSM phone with T-mobile PRE-PAID. The cost to call Peru is exorbitant if I call cell to cell - better if it's cell to landline (phone in a home / business), anywhere from .25 to .75 a minute. (US Dollars)

The best way to call Peru (my wife's Peruvian)

1 - Buy a cheap MetroPCS service, they now have offices in LA - approx. $40.00 month. Then add dollars for international calling - cell to landline 0.047 cents a minute. They don't have a "contract" and if you don't use the phone it gets canceled. So when you leave, the phone goes inactive and unless you return and pay monthly fees, the number gets recycled.

2 - Buy a T-Mobile (I don't know about AT&T or others) prepaid chip. About $50.00, and includes, I think, $25.00 in minutes at 0.10 cents a minute. Then look for a CHEAP calling card that has an 800 number and no "connect" charges. The best I've found is IDT. Calls to Peru are 0.05 cents a minute to a landline and .25 cents to a cell phone. You still use your minutes on T-Mobile so the total cost is .15 cents a minute. 0.10 for T-Mobile and 0.05 for the card. If you call from a regular phone, the 800 number should be "free" and so you're only paying the IDT rate.

3 - Use Skype - 0.027 cents to a landline or 0.27 cents to a cell phone.

All of the costs I've stated are for calls to LIMA, if your calling any of the provinces the costs go up. Seems Lima has the most direct connection, and all other calls go to Lima first, then on to the provinces.

I may be a few cents off on some of my rates, but it is late, and I'm not checking Skypes rates right now.

[QUOTE=FlyingAce]....., and I'm not checking Skypes rates right now.FlyingAce[/QUOTE]FWIW Peru has one of the highest interconnect rates in the world for cellphones. Skype is $0.31 to a cell. Same as a Cingular mobile to Lima Claro cell. To a Lima landline Skype is $0.03.

FlyingAce[/QUOTE]If you have Internet on both ends (your US home and your Peru home), the best solution is a VoIP connection. I have a VoIP company here in Lima -- [url]www.voicered.com[/url] -- that can hook you up. It works amazingly well and it's much cheaper than any other solution. PM me if you want details.

All,

If you have internet, speakers and microphones on both ends, Skype is FREE. SkypeOut- the for fee service- only comes into play when you are trying to call a traditional fixed line or cell phone from your skype connection.

Hearing Skype mentioned, I might as well come in with a related query.

Next time I'm in Lima I'd like to trying having phone sex with girls between real-life sessions. A particular kink of mine.

For instance I would do a girl in Trocadero, then give her some money that would entitle me to chat with her on the phone later before I meet her again the next day. If I give the girl phone-sex money roughly equivalent to real-sex money (eg 60 soles for an hour at Trocadero's rates), there's no reason for her not to agree. Of course the cost of calling would be on me and that's where I wonder whether Peru's mobile phone rates are competitive enough. Calling from a land line is not an option (I don't want hotel reception to listen in and, most importantly, I want to have a free-hand (literally!) to toss up comfortably).

What would a one-hour mobile-to-mobile talk cost me? And yes, I don't think things like Skype are practicable either because the sound quality is insufficient for phone-sex IMHO.

1) I'm not sure she would honor the agreement;
2) A pre-paid is about S/.1.20 a minute.
3) There are some female impersonators on this board who would offer a, figurative, helping hand!

I had a 19 year old up to my hotel room in Lima the other night and decided to eat her pussy in order to break the ice. Thing is, sometimes you enjoy eating pussy and could do it for hours and sometimes it just does not taste right. The other night it did not taste right. This basically ruined the whole night for me to the point where I could not finish. A f****** disaster, all told.

This has happened to me a few times in Lima now but never in Indonesia, Malaysia or Singapore. I could eat South East Asian pussy every day for the rest of my life. You have to be a little more discriminating with Peruvian pussy.

Am I getting senile or is there something to this? I am curious to hear if anyone else has encountered this problem or am I just turning faggot?

Im not into name calling but try eating butt instead...funny enough alot of the times it tastes better.

Im curious to hear other peoples opinions. One side of me thinks a butt has been penetrated less therefore safer as long as you wipe the shmutz off.

Eating snatch is a crap shoot .

Highly unlikely.

[QUOTE=TheCatsMeow88]Thing is, sometimes you enjoy eating pussy and could do it for hours and sometimes it just does not taste right. The other night it did not taste right. [/QUOTE]Peruvian pros work with condoms. Condoms leave behind a smell and a taste. Being made of a natural substance (latex), they might even provide a medium for the growth of some bacteria you never find in an "unprotected" vaginal environment, who knows? Maybe some barebacking - which you would get in Asia - is required from time to time for a pussy to taste right? A natural-tasting pussy is certainly not a infected one but it is certainly not a sterile one either.
