Mexican Cell Phones

  UPDATE

My Trac Phone may work in Mexico

Originally I was told that Trac phones won't work in Mexico. That could be wrong. The Trac phone have SIMs in them just like the other cell phones that work in Mexico.

I was at some a T Mobil cell phone shop today and the guy showed me a cell phone and the SIM that is in it.

The SIM is identical to the SIM in my Trac Phone.


I talked to a guy at Wal-Mart and he told me to buy my Mexican cell phone in the USA.

He said in Mexico the phone will cost $100+ while in the US it will cost $15 or $20.

He told me to get an ATT or T-Mobil phone. He said they use both in Mexico.

He also said to get a GSM phone. I suspect that is what they use in Mexico.

But he said that you can't use the SIM card that comes with the phone in Mexico.

He says you will have to buy a SIM card in Mexico to use the phone there.

Pro's Ranch Market Cell Phone info!!!

I went to the Pro's Ranch Market on 16th & Roosevelt which is at:
Pro's Ranch Market
1602 E Roosevelt St
Phoenix, AZ
85006

(602)254-1879

The woman there told me that she had used her American cell phone in Mexico.

She told me you could use either an ATT phone or a T Mobile phone.

She said that she got her Mexican SIM card for the phone at a store in Nogales Mexico called:

Soriana
She told me you could also buy Mexican phone cards at the Wal-Marts in Mexico.

Her store which was inside the Pro's Ranch Market is

Frontera Cellular

1602 E Roosevelt St
Phoenix, AZ

(602)251-3866

518 N Arizona Avenue, Suite 24
Chandler, AZ

(480)726-0665

I think the store in Chandler is that big out Mexican swap market or the place that looks like a swap market which is between Galveston and Oakland Streets on the west side of Arizona Avenue.

Free Android phones from Cricket

While I was in the area I also noticed that the folks that sell Cricket phones were giving away free Android phones if you trade your old cell phone into them.

Since I have 3 days on mine maybe I should do that.


Here is some other information that would be useful in traveling to Mexico.

It's information on cheep air fares, cheep hotel rates, booking hotel rooms, cheap air fares and cheap hotel rates.
