cell phone with sim card for Peru, Chilie, Bolivia, etc
Does anyone have a cell phone they recommend that would allow to change sim cards between countries in southern South America. I am interested in a very basic, simple phone that would not be such a target for thieves. What brand and where could I purchase it? Better to buy in US or buy in Peru? May travel in Peru, Bolivia, Chile, Argentina, Uruguay, Brazil and Paraguay.1
Just search ebay for "GSM Unlocked World Phone." Should be a quad banded phone (850/1900/900/1800 MHz). There are plenty for under $100 that I saw. You could also pick up a cheap android smart phone for around $100 on ebay (like an LG optimus). If you want non fancy looking stick with a flip phone maybe.Like this one:

Ok, I've looked at the title and didn't noticed Brazil. Brazil uses European frequencies of 900/1800 GSM and 2100 3g, so you need quad-band phone5
you can get a new basic phone in peru for 59 soles. movistar is the biggest company but claro has the widest coverage..in my experience...and don't worry about thieves ..have fun..lucky you
