I used walkie talkies in rosarito beach, mexico when we would go on 3 day weekends. Henry is right, shitty reception and drunk users just dont go well. what the hell is blackberry messenger i have a blackberry but never used the messenger, how is it diff from just sending a text?
Go to the app store and install bbm. It's free to download. bbm uses data plan (whereas sms is part of voice plan because it uses an older technology) so it's a lot cheaper. An sms is limited to 160 characters each and will cost you $0.20-0.50 (depending on carrier and plan) out of the country. bbm is just like any instant messager. There is no limit per message and sending plain text through data plan. A 160 message through data plan will only be 0.2kb and it usually cost $0.002-$0.015/kb for international data roaming. Basically, it costs nothing comparing to sending txt. Just make sure if you have your data roaming on, you don't send/download pictures/videos. Those will cost you an arm and a leg.
damn Henry, you're the man! Remind me to take a fat chick for the team if the opportunity presents itself. To show my gratitude of course for all your help these past few weeks. BTW, the nerdiest school in the country is MIT, Is that where you went?
i disagree with MIT being the nerdiest, probley Cal Tech is. MIT might be full of geniuses but they party like no other, I have tons of friends who go to BU and BC and the girls all go to MIT frat parties cause they are way better than the parties at their own schools
OR you can just buy a prepaid cellphone in Cancun. the local variety store OXXO carries samsungs and nokia's. They cost 300 pesos ($30 US) and come with 300 pesos of airtime or textn. To send or receive a text is only 1 peso. Buy the phone and get the airtime for free. Best Deal Yet!!!:xyxthumbs:
