Cellular Abroad SIM Card for Mexico
A SIM Card for Mexico, together with a tri-band or quad-band unlocked GSM cell phone, will allow you to have cellular service in Mexico on a pay as you go basis. The call rates are advantageous and you can even get a US number from your local area code. You can purchase talk time directly from the handset, in the US or in Mexico, toll free, 7 days/week , and with a US credit card. Call credit is available in 10,15, 25, 50, 75 and 100 denominations.

"Mexico is horrible when it comes to telephone service.
At the resort we were at, they charge $10 to dial a number, then it was $10 per minute, needless to say, we did the phone card thing, which doesn't make "you" available for folks back home to call! We will be going back soon, God willing, maybe by then, I will be "wise" enough to have your system with me!! "

Multi-Country Travel
You can also purchase other SIM cards as well for other countries to where you may be traveling. (This option is good for those planning on doing a lot of local calling.) We also offer an international roaming Talk Abroad™ SIM Card that is convenient for travel to multiple countries. (This option is useful for those wanting a single number for use in multiple countries and who will be making more calls back home than locally.) |
