can anyone tell me if my sprint cell phone will work in Mexico? I was down there 1 year ago and could recive calls, but could not call out. I have a new phone now but still sprint service. I will be moving and want to know if i can use it or do I need to get someother kind of service.
Suggest you investigate Cingular..I have this service in Mulege and it works up and down Baja You can get a special rate @ about $.70/minute for calls to and from Mexico..very resonable monthly rates overall.
You can also walk into any store that sells TELCEL phones and buy a Mexican cell phone. They are prepaid and get deactivated after like 6 months of inactivity. The good thing is that you can get them turned back on for $10.00 by walking into any TELCEL store wiith your phone and original receipt. You can get a new TELCEL phone with several hundred minutes for less than $150.00
On their system all you have to do is dial 01-area code + 7 digit phone number to get a call out to the United States.
This way works great for my wife and I because she has family in Mexico and we take our Mexican cell phones with us when we go down to visit so that we can all be in touch on our vacations. We pay $20.00 to re-activate 2 cell phones every time we visit and the pre-paid phone cards can be purchased just about everywhere you see a telcel sign in a store window. In Mexico city they have guys that stand out in traffic on the city streets selling them to people waiting for red lights at busy intersections!!!
