buying a cell phone in madrid - 08/08/05 12:01 AM

Hey there,

I'm going to be in madrid for 4 months and I heard from someone that went that it is a good idea to just buy a cell phone there- she said go to el corte ingles. Any thoughts??

el corte is pretty expensive.. you're better off price comparing in the local shops. anyhow, I think 4 months is worthy of a cell phone purchase, yes. It's key if you want to have a social life in Spain.

Thanks for the advice. One more question- which is better for calling home to the US from Madrid, a cell phone or a calling card?

I think a calling card, although I'm not 100% sure.
