When you travel to Medellin, you are going to need a cell phone. It is almost a necessity. If your current cell phone is not a Tri or Quad Band, Unlocked GSM phone, we recommend you purchase one. Any model GSM Tri Band or Quad Band, Unlocked phone will work.

Next, you will need to purchase a local Medellin Telephone number (SIM Chip) for your phone. You can do this easily when you get here and purchase one locally.

You will also need to purchase prepaid minutes. MTG recommends Comcel or Tigo as two of the best local providers. Tigo offers Dia de Tigo promotions where you get extra minutes and PM's. Offer good when purchased through the local GANA lottery outlets only.

Reminder: If you buy your SIM Chip and Minutes in advance of your arrival, do not try to load your number or minutes into your phone until you arrive in Medellin. You can do it while waiting in line at immigration/customs or while you are waiting for your luggage. (Minutes usually expire within 30-90 days ((depending on the amount purchased)) if unused). Trust us, the ComCel/Tigo towers in Medellin will not pick up your attempt to load service from Oshkosh!
