Telephones:
To use your own cell phone you can buy a local SIM card/chip from most Ancel, Claro or Movistar resellers. NOTE: Before you can buy an Ancel chip you are required to register your cell phone at Customs upon entering Uruguay. Other providers may or may not require this. If you need to use a public telephone, look for the nearest "locutorio" - a store with public phone cabins. You pay with cash after your call.

TIPS FOR AN EASIER STAY
Arrival by Air:
A taxi from Montevideo's Carrasco Aeropuerto takes about 30 minutes to reach the city. Taxi fare from the airport to the city is about US$25. Private taxis (remises) can be taken from the street or called by phone.
- Remise "El Ciudadano"
Tel: (598 2) 601.8585
Mobile: (598) 94.423203
- Remise "Carrasco"
Tel: (598 2) 600.4396
Mobile: (598) 94.405473
If coming from Buenos Aires, we strongly recommend you use BuqueBus. It arrives directly at the Puerto de Montevideo, about 6 blocks from the apartment. Colonia Express may be cheaper, but you arrive at Tres Cruces bus station, requiring a distant taxi ride to the apartment. NOTE: Often the Buquebus website schedules do not account for a potential one hour time difference between BsAs and Montevideo when the two countries do not synchronize to Daylight Savings Time. Always ask the company if the quoted arrival time reflects local Montevideo time. Also consult the World Clock.
Electricity:
Electric power in Uruguay is 220V and its wall outlets are different. If your electrical devices run on 110V, make sure you bring a power converter and a plug adapter.
Emergency Numbers:
- Ambulancia Publica (105)
- Emergencia (128)
- Patrullero/patrolman (109)
- Policia (911)
- Avis (9030303)
- Apino (6141652)
- Thrifty (4818170)
- La Española Taxi (141)
- Remises de las Carretas (7116984)

Seasonal Time Changes:
Montevideo and Buenos Aires are geographically close, but Uruguay moves to Daylight Savings Time during South America's summer months (early October to early March) while Argentina sometimes does not. If that happens, Montevideo will be one hour later than BsAs during those months. Always verify this when scheduling your travel and other appointments. Check World Clock
