Mexico cell phone?

I am heading to the Baja for a few weeks in November and was thinking about cell phone use there. I have Verizon and do not plan to cancel them. I was thinking about a Travel phone for out of country trips. This would most likely be used in Mexico for a few weeks a year, maybe more.

So what do you use?

Verizon has very poor coverage in Baja - don't bother bringing it.

AT&T has the best coverage.

T-Mobile has the best plan for Baja - everything is free with your plan. They have no contracts so you could get a plan for the month you are traveling using and old cheap phone...

We switched from AT&T to T-Mobile when we moved here and saved a ton of money and have better services. Unlimited Phone, Text and Data. Works as a Hot Spot for our internet service as well.

Re: Mexico cell phone?

Good info, I will probably go the T mobile route.
Thanks

I'm in Baja a lot and agree with Ramsey on this one. I was with Verizon previously through my company and now we switched to T-Mobile instead. Better plans and savings, but you do tend to drop calls where you wouldn't with Verizon.
