No offense to anyone else that posted but forget the other suggestions. The best bet in Mexico is to get a Movistar prepaid sim, I have one I use all the time there. Once you get the sim dial *TARIFA from the phone and change your plan to the plan titled "por llamada". This will allow you to dial direct from Mexico to the US, CANADA, PR for only roughly $1 for 30mins worth of talking, by far better than any world sim. Local calls are only 60c for 30mins worth of talk time also. As far as incoming calls, since Mexico is now Calling Party Pays (CPP) then the incoming calls will be free on the sim side but you'll pay whatever the rate is to call Mexican cell phones on your office side. Good luck and have fun. BTW, Last time i bought a movistar sim I paid $15 for it with $5 of credit on it.
