RTuesday · **Telcel updates -** 01-03-2009, 18:17

I just had a look at your updated Mexico page - you've covered the complicated tariffs of Telcel very well.

just a few corrections. The 3G/UTMS is 3G 850, not 1900 - so a Nokia E51 works fine (in the limited 3G areas). The cost to check the balance is 0.85 MXN not 1.15 MXN (the same as sending an SMS), can also be done for free on the website.

The "Por Llamada" (per call) tariff is now per 15 minutes, not per 20 minutes.

For recharging, cards are available from stores, Mexican bank accounts and ATMs can be used, and there are also some US companies selling online recharges (maybe not the best deal at current exchange rates, but handy to keep a card active from outside the country), examples are babblebug.com (I've used them successfully) and prepaidwireless.com.
