MEXICO

The incoming calls/messages won't eat up your minutes / messages

Same happens south of the border (Mexico), I can get as many calls as I want for as long as my battery lasts and it costs me ZERO, same goes for messages, it started being this way long time ago (more that 10 years ago), I can tell you that I still remember the jingle and let me tell you something else:

I have also a plan where I can call my 10 (or 2 on the cheaper plan) favorite numbers for the same amount (big zero on min and text) there is of course the monthly charge but the big difference is that I have discovered that this unlimited minutes are truly unlimited.

I tried to test this by calling my wife and leaving both phones on a call and connected to AC power and guess what?After the weekend the call was there, no extra charges on my bill and when out of curiosity I went and called the company they told me that that was ok, unlimited means unlimited.

Oh and just to make you cry I also had a plan that lets me pay by call not by minutes (as long as I call a land line or a cell on the same carrier) and I learned during that call to my carrier that if my call lasts more that one full day they will bill it as another call every 24 hours.

The only thing that you have to take into consideration is that if you use a land line to call a cellphone you will be billed by the minute (about USD 5 cents plus tax)and if you call from cell to cell the same will happen (about USD 10 cents plus tax).

So there you go, not bad for the 3rd world, huh?
