Was just about to post this as well.. Most Iphones will lock to the first sim you put in them.. So you might find another one wont work.. Why dont you just use the hotels wifi ! Use Viber to make calles to other viber users for free and post your photos with out the worry of changing your sim
Hi everyone.. great information.. I just found your site.. I am leaving for cancun in two weeks for 16 days.. I currently have a samsung galaxy s III from t-mobile.. Since the roaming charges are outragious I am having my phone turned "off" .. They did email me instructions to unlock my phone.. I see that everyone mostly goes to the "Telcel" store in the hotel zone @ la isla mall if it's still there.. ( I have not been there in 3 years) I mainly want to use the phone for data (to take pics to post to my facebook.. or check in's .. is this going to be a problem? are the sim cards only used for "voice" making calls or receiving them to the mexican # that is provided? If anyone has any input thank you for your time... Question # 2 I am bringing my laptop and can use (email or skype) for conversations with family at home to keep in touch. My question here is the wifi .. I am staying at a hotel and yes they have wifi but my room is a beach room villa.. which isn't up by the pool /office where wifi is more used and common with no connection issues. I would like to be connected in my room.. not drag my computer out and walk to the pool or lobby just to check my business emails on a daily basis.. is there wifi there in cancun that I can buy for my laptop in case the hotels wifi does not connect me? I spoke to a woman from the hotel and she says the beach villas internet comes and goes.. sometimes the connections are not the best.. if theres something I can do / buy there at "telcel" that you know of that will keep my laptop connected no matter what I would appreciate the info.. . I don't speak spanish so I hope I have no issues trying to explain this while I am there..
Telcel is no longer at La Isla. It is now in Plaza Flamingo, just around the corner from Margaritaville. One or two people speak a little English there.
