Your Mexico Vacation

Each year we update our Mexico wireless information, this year it's just ahead of the winter travel season.  We have so much new information we need list them:

• MEXICO CELLULAR: This is our new entry point for all kinds of wireless information for Mexico travelers, including reviews on the Mexican wireless carriers.
• USING YOUR US PHONE IN MEXICO: Can you just take your current phone with you?  Even more important: should you use that phone?
• WIRELESS CALLING INSTRUCTIONS: We've tried to dig up all the oddities you might encounter when trying to make a wireless call in Mexico, and listed Helpful Tips.
• ZOOMABLE MEXICO COVERAGE MAPS: We have added one of our most popular features of our Cellular Maps site for US carriers: Interactive Maps for Mexican carriers.
• DATA ROAMING DANGERS!  There are horror stories of people just checking their email in Mexico and getting hundreds of dollars in data roaming charges!

Some of the Mexican wireless carriers have adopted US features like "Calling Circles" and Free Long Distance across Mexico and to the US.  These are things we have taken for granted here for years.  One of the disturbing trends is that T-Mobile and Sprint roaming charges are now approaching $2 a minute for calls within Mexico.  Shades of 1984!  GoPhone is still two bits (what's that?).

Have a good trip and email us with your wireless experiences.
