    I did that as a backup plan, but didn't use it because the per minute charge for me was $1.50 per min - even for local calls. With the ISM chip, my incoming calls were free and the outgoing (for local) cost something like a quarter or 35 cents. No rental and no worries (or potential conflicts) to show up on my phone bill later on. And the chip comes with a Mexico phone number you can give those who you want to reach you (and not give to those you don't!)

    THAT is critical. The phone must either be a Telcel phone originally or be an 'unlocked' phone which works in the 1900Mhx band. Phones you find in the US are all 1900 Mhx I believe, but phones in Europe work at 1800Mhx, which won't work in Mexico (or in the US).

    Either way works for me.

    I'll just give you my number and you can call me or we can set up a place to meet.
