Beginning at 6:30 AM, our cell phones begin to receive text messages from our cellphone company, Movistar. (You have two cell phone provider choices here. . .Claro is the other company, and they provide our internet). The texts continue periodically throughout the day, touting amazing "deals" for recharging our "saldo," or minutes. We're not on any type of contract here; we just recharge our phones with "minutes" whenever we are running low at any corner store, and it's great to do it when there are deals. Granted, we don't always understand what the deals are, but they seem SO good all the time:)We've also heard there are tons of restrictions on these deals, but we also don't understand those restrictions, so ignorance continues to be bliss! We use our cell phones MUCH less here than in the States, but we are also paying MUCH less than the monthly $100 Verizon bill we were accustomed to, and we are thankful to both have cell phones here in Nicaragua.
