I was glad to see your post. I am frantically packing and repacking my backpack. I leave tomorrow from Canada making my journey to SJPdP. I just got up and packed some zip ties! Great idea!
I have a new iPhone 8+ with Rogers in Canada. I bought it out right from Apple so it’s definitely unlocked and shouldn’t have a problem with GSM. Thanks for the information about the Vodafone store. I’ll keep that in mind.
