SIM & Cell Phone Packages for Mexico

Should I rent or buy?

Our cell phone packages offer some of the best cell phone rates for making and receiving calls available for travelers to Mexico. Outgoing or received calls are the same rate regardless of whether you are calling back to the US, or within Mexico; only $0.25 per minute! Your new phone package includes a phone with a pre inserted SIM card that operates in Mexico as well as the United States. Your phone number will be a United States cell phone number.

Please do not hesitate to contact one of our expert advisors if you need help selecting a handset; our toll-free hotline is 1-800-287-5072.

Checking your credit:
You can dial *777# to check your credit at any time.

Adding Talk Time:
The easiest way to add additional talk time is over the phone directly from the handset. You can add talk time from the US or within Mexico with a US credit card. Dial 611 to reach Customer Support.

NOTE: To add your voucher codes dial *888*(recharge PIN code)#send.

U.S. & Mexico Prepaid Credit
only $15.00 for $15 of talk time credit



Add more talk time to your AT&T SIM Card with an additional $15 recharge card. Each of these recharges gives 150 local minutes while in the U.S., or 60 minutes while in Mexico.

Voicemail: 
Voicemail must be activated while in the U.S. before you leave for Mexico. Press and hold the 1 key on your handset to connect to your voice mail box system and follow the phone instructions to set up your recorded message. Listening to your voice mail costs $0.10 per minute while in the US and $0.25 per minute while in Mexico

Troubleshooting
If you are unable to make calls to the US try dialing 00 before the 1 area code and number.
If you are unable to make or receive calls switch networks on your phone.  Consult your phone’s manual.  The steps will be like these:

  • Menu > Settings/Setup > Network > Available Network/Change Network > Search
  • Select a different network carrier than the one currently shown.

If you are receiving no reception bars, emergency calls only, SOS, or no service
check your phones band setting:  Consult your phone’s manual. The steps will be like these:

  • Menu > Settings/Setup > Network > Network Setup >Band
  • Make sure you select 1900

Service Life:
When you add call credit, you also extend the validity period as follows:

  • $15 : 30 days
  • $25 : 90 days
  • $50 : 90 days
  • $75 : 90 days
  • $100 : 365 day

As a special bonus for GSM phone + Mexico SIM card package deals ordered online, we're offering any of our additional prepaid SIM cards with a $15 discount! This will means that you can save even more money at another destination country and stay in touch with business colleagues or friends back home. We offer country-specific SIM cards for over 50 nations around the globe! Here's a suggestion: When you go abroad, you don't have to carry your US phone with you. Instead, you can make calls from the airport with your GSM phone and a US SIM and then swap the chip with your Mexico SIM for when you arrive at your overseas destination.
