The phone issue!!!

Alrighty, I never used so much time on a phone. Never.

Anyway last Saturday I went to buy a simcard and didn't succeeded. After one hour in the line, they told me that the system didn't work.. haha no I am not joking.

Then I went monday again and succeeded! Then I went wednesday to charge the card with 50 soles (aprox 13 euro).

Yup everything does not go that fast in Peru.

Then I tried it yesterday evening and it didn't work. When I turned my phone on, it said: no SIM card. Even though it is inside!

Sooooo.. today I went again (they almost get to know me in Movilstar). After half an hour someone helped me. Well, apparently the SIM card cannot be used in this phone. Movilstar and Nokia couldn't go together or I needed to call the shop of the phone to 'unblock' Movilstar simcards. That is not possible cause it is Ricardo's phone. Anyway I have 3 options:

1. First option is that I buy a new SIM card and put again 50 soles on it. Though I will loose 57 soles (7 for simcard) and I don't want that, also risking that the simcard does not work again could be quite big.
Here I basically loose 57+57 soles cause I need to buy it twice.

2. Buy a new phone in Movilstar store for 79 soles and let the shop make it work. (See picture)

3. Just let it go :) (So far I have not needed it that much yet.. )

What would you do? Please give me advice! :)Read more
