First, there's a waiting list for new lines. 3-6 months usually. Second, You need to be a resident or own a corporation. Third, you need to have a cell phone with recent receipt.

Getting a phone legitimately here is just not an easy task.

Evidently, according to Zman's post, the prepaid do not have a waiting period at this time. They have 40,000 lines dedicated to the prepaid service.

There are no waiting lines for the prepaid service. You only have to be a resident , citizen, or own a corp. My friend said no receipt for the phone was required. He brought his phone with him, they put the chip in , he bought a few prepaid cards and he was set.

He was told only ICE offices sell the prepaid chips. Not cell phone stores.

Thanks for the additional info! I'll have an amiga buy one for me.
