Best Mobile/Sim Card for use in Ecuador/Galapagos Islands
Discussion
Hola.
Just replying whilst overlooking the beach on Isabela island
There's no cheap way in short. You'll pay one way or another. I'd just get him to use his current SIM and roam it. I've had problems with local SIM cards not accepting international calls here and in Argentina. Just check that his current provider has a roaming agreement with Ecuador.
Failing that it's really easy to walk into a shop here and buy a PAYG sim with any of the networks... Not worth it for 2wks though as they aren't really set up for international use.
Wifi is fairly widespread and free so you can save mobile calls for emergencies and FaceTime/Skype for everything else. Internet on the islands is pretty slow but generally works except for the odd long outage.
What's he doing over here?
