1st of all, I’m not fluent in Spanish but I understand a bit and with a mix of Spanish, Italian, Portuguese and French, I have a chance of getting what I need... That’s VERY important because, despite Panama has a lot of multinational subsidiaries, they are not that many people speaking English! In other words, if you don’t understand Spanish, you may be stuck sometimes, simply because you cannot communicate properly... Having said that... I arrived in Panama 1st of December 2019 and having read your explanations, I went in a kind of Chinese drugstore (they are many in Panama city) and I purchased 3 Movistar SIM cards for my 3 iPhones (my wife and I) + I purchased some units to be sure to be able to phone locally and to get an internet access for WhatsApp, Waze, Google, Uber, etc... Suspicious (but not paranoid 😀), a few days later I went in Allbrook mall center and stopped in a Movistar official shop I could explain that I need and I want an unlimited internet access which works 2 months in Panama and in Costa Rica, for one phone, the phones I would setup as a hotspot to supply internet to my other devices (Phones, tablets, computers...) WITHOUT ANY restrictions during my stay The lady on desk suggested a 35$/month subscription without being forced to renew afterwards OK! but... how do reload my account in 30 days? No problem, you on...Stop! In 5 weeks I’m in Costa Rica and I don’t want to spend time and bother with reload, can I pay you 2 months in one shot right now? Yes sure she said So I paid 2 months and so far I’m pleased with the formula. While some crappy landlines wifi allow 6Mb/s, my LTE connexion gives between 20 and 50Mb/s to my main iPhone, configured as a hotspot for my stuff As of today, I’m happy with the formula
