ATM`s are everywhere and all of them cost the same( 2.50$/withdraw) to withdraw cash from it.
There are some companies who sells their SIM-Cards, but the problem is, not all of them works with foreign-phones and also to sellers don`t know that. So don`t spend that much money to get one. The SIM-Cards starts at 35$ for unlimited internet (Up to 5Gb/30days, after with slowly 215kb/sec).
