I've just been back to Mexico. 09 has stopped working on both Telcel and Movistar (that, with gphone callback, worked well for me at 10c/min to US/UK last year). 09 now only works on one of the US networks as well, can't remember if it used to be more.

The Movistar-by-call plan does now look the best option for lengthy calls to the US (around US$1 for each 30 mins), especially as incoming calls are now free so could be used with callback as well.

Does anybody know if the Movistar recharges roll-over (accumulate), or do they, as the website says, simply expire after 90 days? How long after they expire do I have to recharge again before I lose the number, will an online recharge while out of the country keep it active?
