Mexico and SIMple Calling [single US number SIM only]
Does anyone have recent information if SIMple Calling [ekit] works in Mexico? SMS and/or voice?

Mexico info.

Thanks for the response. Good to know. This will free up two SIM slots on one of my cell phones. [Of course I will test and verify also---but at least I will not be suprised.] I am taking a short cruise in December: Los Angeles, Santa Barbara and Mexico [Ensenada?]. As a side note, ekit's UK ebay seller [ekitmobile] has US only SIMple Calling SIM cards again for a lower price then the still offered dual IMSI [US & UK phone numbers] SIM cards. Of the six ekit cards [2 single US number], a Truphone, and a T-Mobile SIM, the best prepaid rate I have for Mexico is the T-Mobile at $1.49 a minute. T-Mobile has the best SMS from Mexico also: 35cents. Thanks for response. |

But it does cost $100 a year (or more) to keep active, probably not cost-effective for a three day trip. :) 25c/min incoming, and 25c outgoing to the US and Canada is a bargain. 50c to send a text, 20c to receive. Forget about data though at nearly $20/MB! |
excellent point

Excellent point, however, part of my choice involves using SIMs I already have and trying to lower their balances. I don't have any at&t balance and I do have $40+ on T-Mobile and more on various ekits. Don't travel enough to let the balances get too high or risk losing them through lack of use. thanks |
AT&T doesn't include free calling to Canada - there is a toll charge (35 cents?) atop the normal per-minute rate.
Otherwise, I agree - AT&T is the best SIM to use in Mexico unless native Mexican prepaid calling is cheaper. |

I'll be in Buffalo, NY at the end of the month; I can try it then and see what happens. |

(AT&T does show a 19c surcharge to call Canada from within the US). |
