rodgiddens,

I've had a similar positive experience with mexitel.
I would warn against expecting any SIMs you might buy in Mexico to work for your next trip, however. Mexico SIMS self-destruct in a month or so without use. Then you go back and they don't work, and it takes the better part of a week to get the new one working anywhere near correctly.

That's one of the reasons I continue to rent (in this case, from Mexitel). It's easier, it works, and it's really not that expensive. By comparison, T-Mobile wants $1.50 minute in Mexico and you don't get calls reliably (and you can't get local calls at all).
