Roaming in Mexico

Cabo San Lucas, Mazatlan and Puerta Vallarta -- can you do it with an Alltel
CDMA phone? If so, should I make any special arrangements through customer
service?

How about doing some of your OWN research. Did you even bother to
check on the Alltel website and look at the various rate plans?
Perhas one called the North American Freedom Plan? Or click on the
list of the over 800 cities in Mexico that are covered and see if they
are on that list?

I know the answer because I looked. I won't tell lazy bastards like
you though - I'll make you go and look yourself.

Geez, you have a point, sort of, but lighten up.

This coming from the most widely acknowledged IDIOT in the cell phone
groups. Yes, your opinions mean a lot.

Shouldn't you be bithcing about Axces TV or something?

Nevermind. I didn't intend the question for you.

I've roamed in the above areas with my Alltel phone and other carriers
as well over the years with no problems.
Make sure you call customer service before leaving the country to make
sure you are enabled for international roaming.

Here is the link for list of cities that have roaming in Mexico (all
three you mentioned are in here)

http://www.alltel.com/wps/wcm/connec...ea9d90e102de66

According to customer service (wayne in the billing department - I
called today) it is
..99 - 1.29 per minute to use it, but it could be less depending on the
roaming partner's tower that you're using plus if your calling back to
the U.S. another .30 cents a minute for long distance. So in theory
we're talking .99 - 1.59 a minute which I don't consider to be too
expensive. In practive I think they've charged me about 1.29 - 1.59 a
minute in the past and that seems pretty consistant with what customer
service told me.

Good luck down there and have fun. Remember the dial patterns are
different in Mexico too. The international access code is 00 instead
of 011 so to call the weather here in Cleveland Ohio you'd dial
00-1-216-931-1212 (00 = intl access code, 1=US & Canada shared country
code, then area code and number)
