Does anyone know anything about international cell phone service? I am adopting a child from Medellin, Colombia and I'll need to go down there for about a month. I have AT&T and they say it will be 2.99/minute to use my regular phone down there. What are my other options? TIA. [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

Depends what kind of phone you have but you may be able to buy a SIM card once you get there and put it in your phone. It basically changes your phone to have Colombia as your home network [ Reply | More ]
