    We are coming to Ecuador at the end of March and we’d like to know if you can buy prepaid cell phones at the airport or any other place in Ecuador? We do not want to bring our Canadian phones with us, but we’d like to have the security of having a cell phone. Can any of you local folks advise what our options are? Thanks in advance for your help. Looking forward to exploring Ecuador.

    Good news! Our two service providers, Movistar & Claro, have many retail stores. Long term service plans aren’t required, so you can buy a basic phone for $40-50 plus as many minutes as you think you’ll need. If you run out there are outlets (even convenience stores and pharmacies) where you can purchase additional minutes on the spot.
