Tourist Travel – Electronics/Laptop I can bring

[SUSAN P.]

I’m travelling the country for 3 weeks in April
I was planning to bring a camera and my laptop. Will I have any troubles bringing them into the country?

Also, does it make sense to purchase a throw away cell phone to use when I am in the country (to call ahead to restaurants, hotels etc or to use in case of emergency). Do I have to register this with the gov’t somewhere? How much may this cost.

Thanks in advance for you help

No, you will not have any problem bring that stuff. I always travel with a laptop, ipad, camera and 2 cell phones. Yes, you can purchase a cell phone if you’d like and no, you do not need to register it. You can buy an inexpensive cell phone here for $30 to $50. And then buy a card for time… you can probably get by with $5 if you won’t use it much.

Great
Thank-you
Also thank-you very much for your hotel advice in Quito. I just booked it last night.
Thanks to you I’m looking forward to my trip without being intimidated by questions and decisions I’m unfamiliar with
