thanks! great to know...

Hola
I am usually in Mexico for 6 months a year. I use TelCel for my phone connection. SIM cards are cheap. You can leave your phone dormant for a year and still keep the same number. I use the 200 pesos sin limite for 30 days option. This includes unlimited calls anywhere in or between Mexico, Canada and the USA. This includes a data package but I can't remember the amount. It is enough for me, but if you are a heavy data user you can buy additional data packages cheap. I use this plan when I am in Canada. If you receive a lot of incoming calls, this plan may not be for you, because unless the incoming caller is using a TelCel phone, they will be charged long distance rates. Your number is listed as originating from Mexico. There are ways around that which I won't get into.
