Going to Mexico tomorrow. Need a SIM card with data.

[fuzzybabybunny]

I'm going to Mexico tomorrow to Bahai Asuncion for a week of spearfishing and freediving. Where can I get a SIM card for the phone with lots of data for GPS nav through Mexico and VOIP services?

u get that when you arrived. get a prepaid sim there, they should have plan for data. it will probably be expensive.

[KLin]

Kind of waiting til the last minute to ask this, aren't ya?

 

[Capt Caveman]

I'm guessing you're filing for bankruptcy afterwards?

Good luck. Data & roaming in mexico costs an arm and a leg.

Will he survive? Will he make it back with his photography equipment? Will he make it back with his virginity still intact?

I guess no one has ever bought a local card with local rates in Mexico then.

Movistar and Telcel are the 2 options. Available all over the place, but I've only used them for voice.



edit: the refills (amigo card, et al) are available at most bodegas, convenience stores, etc. For the SIM card, you probably need a dedicated cell provider's shop, not as common in the sticks, but ask around and it will work out.

Make sure your phone is unlocked and buy a prepaid SIM there.
