Anyone here had any success using a phone from the US or Canada with a Mexican provider?
In other words: Will/should I be able to unlock my phone and put a TELCEL (or other) Sim Card into my phone and have a Mexican number? |

| I wouldn't bother; you can buy a phone in Mexico for as little as a bit over 400 pesos, and that includes 300 pesos air time. |

I have two unlocked phones working with TelCel Sims in them and they are working just fine. Depending on where you are going, I would recommend getting it unlocked before you go. Around here, there are only two providers so unlocking a phone is not big business and it might difficult to find someone to do it. Mine were unlocked before I came.

I tried that once before, brought my phone with me to Torreon and put my fiance�s SIM card into the phone and got an error message in Spanish telling me there was a SIM card error. Perhaps my phone is not supported, but I hope that is not the case.
Thanks for the info. |
