Telcel is very expensive and I dont think unless you know you will specifically be in a place where you need their expanded coverage that its worth it. I have used movistar in multiple places and their coverage was excellent and you cant beat their "por llamada" plan for roughly 30mins for $1 back to the US.

A TelCel prepaid sim package I think is valid for 60 days for the airtime, and the sim is deactivated after another 60 days. I assume refills would have the same expiration date. Several dealers are selling TelCel airtime in the US through this agreement: http://www.qcomm.com/4_partnering/do...eet-Telcel.pdf
I agree Movistar would be the better value if you don't need the wider coverage footprint of Telcel, but don't know the Movistar refill arrangements available from outside Mexico. Sim Cards: T-Mobile (Mint), AT&T (Mifi device or Kindle), Koko Satphone: InMarSat Broadband US Wireless Data: AT&T postpaid, Sprint (Karma Mobility prepaid) Broadband International Data: SkyRoam VOIP: Skype |

While Movistar is ok in the Cancun area, it is spotty at best in the Mayan Riviera.

I was roaming on my grandfathered T-M plan and Movistar was/is? a lot cheaper than it would have been on TelCel. ...mike A/o Oct 20, 2013 no need for intl prepaid as T-Mobile U.S. includes voice roaming at 20¢/min (in and out)., unlimited text (in and out), and unlimited data in 140+ countries. My Plan -[6 lines] U.S. T-Mobile unlimited minutes (incoming and outgoing), unlimited text, fast data on each line. that $145/mo. total! . (In U.S. no surcharge for calling a cell.) If a line exceeds 2G of data in a month, pay $10 more for that line. [That only happens a couple times/year. |

Just so you guys know I finally got an answer back from Yackie today regarding the significantly higher charges for those Mexico calls. Its because of the RPP they have listed on their site and are carrier specific. I asked them to give me the additional charges for each GSm carrier and I am waiting on a response, I will post it here if/when I get an answer from them.
