Cell Phone in Chile
Going to Santiago for a week for work. Will need a phone there and my Verizon will not work. Should I rent cell here or wait and get one at the airport or through the hotel?

Wow! What kind is it? Verizon will never be in sync with the rest of the world.
Meanwhile, I just received an email from www.absolutchile.com - they rent phones for airport pickup or hotel delivery for $1.90 a day, incoming calls from anywhere are free. Calls to US are $1.90 per minute, to UK $2.50 per minute. For my purposes (mostly receiving calls) this seems cheaper than buying a SIM, which would be $39 including only $11 worth of calls (plus I would have to buy a phone).
