Not a local, but I bought a local SIM with Movistar, I got it for C$100 and they
got me C$100 of credit, then I subscribe to a data plan, they give you 5 days
free and after that it cost C$23($1USD) per day, I'm not sure of the transfer
limits on this plan, so far the credit is still good, receiving and making
calls and data plan(since 21/06/2012) the service is not so good though, I get
disconnected(out of network) once in a while.
Not sure if that problems are because of my hardware compatibility(N900) or just
because the service is bad, but for C$100($4.25 USD) is not bad.

Again not sure, data is not 3G on my phone, I only get EDGE(2.5G) service and
for IRC/email/chat is ok for me but I did not try SIP yet.
