Heh. movistar in San Diego! -

I'm in the Point Loma district of San Diego, California on holiday this week and I was amused when one of my phones grabbed onto movistar. I thought perhaps it was an urban network but it's actually service from Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico that I'm getting.
Tijuana is only about 15 km away but still, I would expect the service to be unreceivable here. I certainly can't receive US coverage at any distance from the US-Canadian border, except in rural areas. San Diego-Tijuana has 6 million people, not exactly rural.
Anyway, trivial, but entertaining. I can add one more country to the list of ones I've been registered to on a cell phone (.ca, .us, .uk, .ch, .de, .at, .li and now .mx).
