Again, the best option for making calls to family and friends back home is to use the locutorio call center. Check rates before making international calls, but a five-minute conversation should only cost a few dollars. This is a much cheaper option than absorbing all the international fees that go along with using a North American or European cellular telephone in Argentina. Also be aware that some call centers run promotions, and cut prices on calls at certain times of the afternoon so be sure to inquire about this possibility if you are on a budget.
