IF AND ONLY IF your Cingular phone is unlocked is there even a chance of getting your phone to work on a sim card from Mexico.
But even if you can make that happen, you will face other problems.
Ever since 9-11, cell phones must be registered to receive calls.
Registration in Mexico takes place in Spanish.
If you don't know Spanish, it's not likely you'll be getting any calls.
And making calls to the US using your standard Mexico cell costs about $1 per min, which is no better than roaming with your Sprint phone.
A better solution is to go to someone like Mexitel Cellular.
- They send the phone to you in the US before you leave.
- The phone is fully registered and speaks English (as do the Mexitel reps) and works to make and get calls the moment you hit the ground.
- Calls to the US cost $1 per call (rather than per minute)
- They work everywhere in Mexico (which Movistar does not do)
- They have customer service reps on the ground (at least in Cancun)
