re: phone, as advised, don't use your U.S. phone / avoid roaming... but ALSO... if it's a smart phone, (you mentioned a phone app)... turn it off!!! the charges for data... even just having it update email etc. can be very high.

re: cash. The easiest, and probably best rate, is to just take cash out from an ATM... one attached to a bank, preferably inside for security reasons.
