Another good reason to change service providers when our contract is up later on this year

Future Canadian brides take note! You might not have cell service if you are with Bell and travelling to Mexico.

I second that, movistar made me want to pull my hair out! The others worked as easily as if I were at home, not sure why.

its weird i was able to text in the DR but when i was in Tulum MX for some reason texts werent going out but coming in. i think the hotels just decided to find a way to block my outgoings so that i had to call collect which ended up being about 80 dollars for 6 phone calls...

I do have to say though, my phone was doing some funky stuff while I was down in MX..It would turn on & off, but none of the buttons except for the power button would work. Then the next day it would be fine. Then the day after that they wouldn't work again. I would charge it and it would lose it's charge within a couple of hours. A whole bunch of weird stuff that all went back to normal when I got home?!
