SIM cards seem to be inexpensive in Ecuador, but you must have 850 band phone. SIM cards are also very available in all cities.

Ecuadorian SIM cards don't work in you cell phone... -

...unless you've bought it in Ecuador.
Even if you've got a cell phone supporting GSM-850, the only GSM frequency in Ecuador, you'll be disappointed. Only Ecuatorian cell phone work on Ecuatorian prepaid SIM cards. I've tried myself with a guaranteed SIM lock free Motorola. The answer I got was that the GSM carriers would like tourists to pay roaming fees which in my case were almost USD 4,00 a minute.

That still leaves Wifi VOIP or satphones (Iridium or GlobalStar) as viable wireless options to bypass the greedy local mobile phone company
 Sim Cards: T-Mobile (Mint), AT&T (Mifi device or Kindle), Koko Satphone: InMarSat Broadband US Wireless Data: AT&T postpaid, Sprint (Karma Mobility prepaid) Broadband International Data: SkyRoam VOIP: Skype |
