Hola! This thread is old and I dont why it activated itself. Anyway, this may help someone.
You can buy any cellphone on the intl market ih Honduras, from the latest IPhone and Samsung 8, to the cheapest brand. Everyone has a smartphone now, apparently. From city teenagers to country teenagers. Its hard to find anyone that doesnt have a cellphone. Wherever you go, be it a small city to a big city, you will find stores to buy and shops to fix everything (some restrictions may apply) There are people apparently everywhere that unblock intl phones. You can pay for monthly plans or buy air time anywhere you go. I use Whatsapp with evryone in the city or out in the country to share images, videos and video calls. Regarding companies, Tigo and Claro cover most of the country. Of course there will be some places where there is one but not the other, but that would have to be way out there in Smalltown, HN.
Saludos cordiales
