What is the cheapest prepaid phone?

Cheapest way to use my cell phone in Mexico?? Or get prepaid in Mexico? Any ideas?

  • I have t-mobile PREPAID sim card here in the US, Planning to go to Mexico for 6 months.....I heard with my prepaid it costs 1,49/min and texting 35 cents/ 5 cents... ANy idea what my best option would be to use it as cheap as here in the US ( 10cents a minute) ... Or could I get a prepaid card in mexico from a mexican phone provider??? THANK YOU!!!

  • Answer:

    It is clear that at $1.49 per min you won't want to use your home cell in Mexico. You might want to try renting a phone from Mexitel Cellular. They speak English (unlike the companies in Mexico), will send the phone to you at your home or office before you leave, and have 2 plans to choose from: one which works in the largest tourist areas and costs $1 per call to make international calls (local calls cost 37 cents per min and incoming calls are free), and a second (different) plan (called "region-free") which can be used anywhere and everywhere in Mexico and costs only 25 cents per min to make and get both international and local calls. I believe texting with either is 20 cents.

Get a prepaid from MOVISTAR México, this is the cheapest. They have different plans, like PAGAMENOS if you don't make many calls this is your best option but if you make many calls PAGAMENOS XTRA is your best option. It costs about 20 cents of dll. for 2 minutes or 50 cents of dll. for 30 minutes for every call. You can call to México, USA and Canada for the same price. http://www.movistar.com.mx/pagamenosxtra/index.html http://www.movistar.com.mx/pagamenos/index.html

Check with the locals, depending on where you are Movie Star or TelCel will get the best reception. You can get a cheap cell phone and one of the various calling plans but be sure to get a plan that allows inexpensive calls to the States.
