Since people have had mixed results getting working data SIMs, I thought I'd offer to do a group purchase of movistar SIMs for people.
http://wiki.debconf.org/wiki/DebConf12/MobilePhonesAndData For C$100 (~5USD), you can get a local SIM that enables you to access an unlimited data plan for the price of US$1/day plus tax - and they have a promotion where you get the first 5 days free. If you would like me to pick up a SIM for you, find me today before 7pm and bring either US$5 or C$100. If you want something other than just a data plan and would like to go along to the mall, I'll be leaving at 7pm sharp from hacklab 1. Please note the operating frequencies listed on <http://debconf12.debconf.org/local-information.xhtml#phone-internet>: although this is an unlimited plan and nominally provides 3G service, my experience is that my phone will only talk 2G. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
