If You're Traveling To Mexico
If you plan on traveling or moving to Mexico and already have a cellular phone, you will want to ask your current cellular service provider about an International Roaming Plan to be able to send and receive calls within Mexico.
You will want to do this before you arrive in Mexico in order to have access to your services when you arrive in Mexico. It is a lot easier to use your cell phone in Mexico if you take care of your service plan before you leave home.
Every carrier has a different way to dial phone numbers while you are in Mexico, please refer to your carrier’s website to learn how to use your current phone while in Mexico.
