ATT advised me to turn off roaming to cut down on the charges on my new iphone 3gs.
Wed and Thur no problem.
This am waiting for an important call - and it did not come through. The message said
"calling number and switched to international assistance and it would not go through.
I switched to roaming on and all is ok - can't wait for this bill!
I checked and the call I was waiting for went to voicemail.
So do I need to register here in RP? If so, where do I go?
The requirement to register your phone does not apply to US (or any non Mexican cell phones).......
As far as AT&T, even if you don't take a call down in Penasco, and it goes to voicemail, you will be charged for the call....had that happen to me about a year ago, and I had an "interesting" discussion with AT&T customer support. Now, unless I'm expecting an important phone call, I turn off my AT&T phone. I don't have an Iphone, but do have one of the "smartphones", and I turn off the wireless "data", even at home, since it burns up my battery fast.
I have a Telcel Amigo phone that I use down there.
Okay everybody, I've read throughout the years many discussions on cell phone use in RP and I'm just as confused now as I ever was. I have just a regular phone with Verizon service. I remember someone saying you can take your phone to a Telcel location and they do something to it for about $25.00 that makes it work down there. Is this correct and is this my best bet or should I contact Verizon?
Yea it can be done, first you have to unlock your phone...If you can do that your phone will accept a new simm card..most cells simm cards will work, you can buy a new simm card at the tel cel take the verizon
one out and put the tel cel in and it should work. I put a link in so you can try to unlock yourself ..

Does Verizon use GSM and Simm cards? I didn't think so....TMobile and AT&T are on gsm. The link provided by Playaperro is for unlocking your password....a big difference.
You can go to many of the cell phone sellers (not AT&T or TMobil stores) and they can unlock your phone...for a fee. The unlock codes may not be available for some of the new phones yet. If you are past your contract with AT&T, they will give you the unlock code. Don't know about TMobile. Then you can insert your Telcel simm into the AT&T phone.
