You have several choices, Movistar, http://www.movistar.com.ar/
Claro http://www.claro.com.ar/ and
Personal http://www.personal.com.ar/

You purchase the phone and then add time. Normally the phone should come with maybe 10 to 20 pesos worth of time on it. For me the easiest method for adding time was going to the post office Correo Argentino and adding the time there rather than buying the phone cards. All they need is your phone number and how much money you want to add to the phone.

Phone prices vary depending on how fancy you want to get, but you should be able to get a nice basic flip phone for under $arg100
