Cell Phone Service in Mexico

[Shergirl 18]

Hi All,

I will be having surgery on 1/16 in Mexico and wonder if any of you had any problems using your cell phone while you were there?

Where in Mexico? If Tijuana.. then I don't know, but Cancun is no problem. Make sure you have international roaming or something like that on your plan. It's worth the 5.99 or so a month to avoid a big bill for using your phone out of the country. Then when you get back you can have your cell phone company discontinue the international roaming. Good luck!

Great question. I was wondering the same thing. Anyone know the phone situation at the Mi hospital in TJ?

I was in Tijuana I have AT&T and when I was at Hotel Ticun I was able to get a US cell tower without paying any roaming charges I had my international calling turned off so I only got US towers and I did not have any roaming charges on my bill

Both A Ortiz and the Marriotts has wireless service. Not sure about other hotels. The service was very slow at the Marriotts, but it worked.

I have Tmobile and just over the border in Mexicali I had extreemly spotty service... most of the time nothing at all. I relied on Skype. It was a lifesaver... I put 10 bucks on my account and was able to call cell/landlines from my laptop. I was down there 4 days and I still have 7 bucks left on my account. Totally worth it!
