would it be possible to rent a cell phone while in Santiago? Last time I was down there and didn't have one. Obviously I made it out alive, but it sure would have been A LOT easier to have one.
Go to an orange shop. You can get a phone for $1000, and it comes with $300 credit on it. Bring your passport as you will need i.d. to get set up. Maybe somebody can advise where exactly in Santiago you can find an Orange shop.
I seem to remember seeing one on Calle del Sol near Banco Popular. Thanks.
