    What carriers work the best in Cancun?

    I know I've had sprint, nextel, verizon, helio, at&t, and virgin mobile over the years..... i don't remember which one worked the best down there.

    I know most of the time we couldn't call outs..... but we could receive calls. We could also send and receive texts... and we would get voicemails.

    I am just thinking about trying to get a hold of people while im down there. I don't want a ton of fees.... and right now i have virgin mobile with texts since it's easier. Last year I just had people call the room and leave a massage.... since we spend a lot of time at the hotel/resort. we would just check it in between meals and pool visits.

    I guess we could always use the hotel phone again if it came down to it... i was just thinking if we were downtown or something and wanted to text someone.... which carriers would work.

    All I know is the phone is shut off the second the pilot tells you to shut it off when they start to taxi to the runway. and it stays off til I land back in JFK airport. I dont wanna know nothing!

    I make a call home from the hotel and leave the hotel phone# and room number for any emergencies when I get there and another call to make sure someone picks me up when I land.

    other then that, I have no need or Desire to talk to anyone from home. thats why im on vaca to begin with.... to get away!

    but I do remember that the hotel phones are pretty cheap.

    ive been married for 2 years. I don't go to wild out...... i go to enjoy the beauty, lay on the beach topless, visit friends i only see once a year for a week at a time... and enjoy the downtown life, tours, and adventures :)

    Sprint doesn't have international txting. Voice roaming internationally is ridiculously expensive (something like $0.99/min). That's why I only use email and blackberry IM to stay in touch with people.
