HELLO BILL
We went to ICE today with my unlocked cellphone. Everything seemed to go too smoothly, at first, but of course a problem developed when it was determined that my Motorola Cellphone modelo #V188 was not on the ICE computer list of approved phones. All the models under and over seemed to be listed!
We then left the store (in Atenas) very short wait, and our driver inserted the chip from his Moto Cellphone into mine a made a phone call.
It worked fine so manana we will use some other options and I will advise you then of our progress.Pura Vida
HarveyHello Bill:
If you give me your email, I will forward an email just received from my niece regarding the total costs for SIM and line.
Gracias
HarveyHola Bill!
Now that seems easy enough! I have been asking around and so far am unable to find a Cingular or AT & T user, but I know there must be some in the area.
I did, however, follow the steps w/o the SIM and all went well.
(Guess that was just practice)Thanks again
HarveyHi Bill!
I have read your reply and have also read your post from Sep.14.
I previously called T-Mobil for unlocking instructions without regard for the 15 digit IMEI.
I have the T-Mobile Unlock Code as well as the necessary steps for unlocking my Motorola device. They include the 15 digit code.
Your instructions from 9-14 are also what were emailed by T-Mobil.
In order to complete the unlock procedure I must have that foreign SIM card.
So, how may I accomplish the unlock here in New York first???????????Thanks again
HarveyHola Bill:
Regarding the foreign (non t-mobile) SIM Card.
I have service with t-mobile. I called cingular to inquire about SIM cards as they use them with their phones. Customer service said I could purchase them at a retail store for $25. I called the local store and was told for $30 I could purchase them. However, I was advised that it would not work, (100% sure) in my phone. (I have all the unlocking codes from t-mobile)
My niece in C.R. today informed me that the cost is c12,500 for each line. I believe that includes the SIM card.
Would you recommend that I have her handle everything for us, with the understanding that line availability seems to be a problem at the present time>
Gracias
HarveyGracias Bill!
I have receipts for the phones that were purchased in N.Y.
My wife (a Tica with Cedula) and I each have one cellphone.
I will be applying for permanent residency soon after arrival in C.R.Also, I have property under an S.A.
We can have a relative take care of the SIM for us.Harvey
Hola Bill:
Can you give me the info on the best way to obtain a ‘foreign’ SIM card again? I will be arriving in C.R. next month.
I have the necessary codes to unlock my T-Mobile, however, most other companies do not use them.Gracias
HarveyHey David:
With all the recommendations and referrals for Dr. Dish, you should demand an increase in commissions to at least 20 Colones!!

HarveyAs of this moment, the http://www.costarica-embassy.org states that the police report is valid for 6 months. My report will be 4 months old when I arrive in C.R. My info from ARCR also indicates 6 months.
Tomorrow, I will call the consul in Chicago to verify that, and inquire about this FBI report that I first read about on the forum.
